Hey, I figured all those out. Knew the 1st 3 and guessed the last two (though I didn't their cities new names).Similarly TLV is not located in Tel Aviv. it is a $40 taxi ride (around 12 miles) away adjacent to the town of Yehud, Or Yehuda, Zafriya and Yagel, off of the Tel Aviv - Jerusalem highway (Route 1) and under development HSR. I was there in February.
This coming week I will be at the following airports:
MCO, IAD, EWR, BOM, CCU.
If Ben Gurion Airport were as far from Tel Aviv as Denver International is from Denver downtown, it would probably be in Palestinian West Bank territory!Just like Denver's Airport is not in Denver, it's in Kansas right? LOL
DFW has that beat. 7 total runways and none of them touch. Not sure why they need so many. Dubai Airport deals with only two runways and is one of the busiest in the world.Speaking of Denver, I once saw it when flying over at 30,000 feet. DEN has 5 runways (3 going one direction and 2 going at right angles to those) - but no runway crosses or touches another runway!
Actually no that's not as impressive as Denver. Denver can launch and land on all six runways with aircraft not having to cross another runway to get to or from the terminal.DFW has that beat. 7 total runways and none of them touch.

I was only responding to a specific claim. DFW has 7 runways that don't touch. If they wanted to, they could add taxiways to DFW to avoid crossing runways to get to/from the terminals.Actually no that's not as impressive as Denver.

Fresno lobbied hard a few years back to have the airport code changed, but the requisite regulatory agencies denied the request.Fresno, CA's code makes sense for Fresno Air Terminal (FAT) - but it's cruel.
