	I certainly didn't fly through this quiz....great!

	magistrakunz:	Aug 1st, 2011 at 18:24 GMT	4 points
	I wish I had actually taken more of these flights! Fun quiz :)

	Colmar:	Apr 21st, 2012 at 16:31 GMT	10 points
	I misunderstood the quiz (even though the title is pretty straightforward) and picked the shorter route. Luckily, I'm terrible both ways and can accept my 50% score as valid.

Comment below threshold: show it

	I included IATA codes in the case of any ambiguity, but if you really thought the question was Seattle to Vancouver or Seattle to Portland, Maine, then you have issues.

	STUPID SPARE CHANGE MILEAGE DIFFERENCES! Great quiz!

	nizorel:	Apr 22nd, 2012 at 02:57 GMT	2 points
	I don't think I would've done much better with a map in front of me.

	@eriedearie: (Spoilers) It doesn't actually matter which Portland.

	I live in Atlanta, took 1 of those trips, and yet still got both of them wrong. smh

	Screw you and your lies, Mercator!

	The more I thought about the questions, the worse I did.

	I feel extra smug, as the only 3 I missed were under 250 miles...and toughies at that! (Vegas, Detroit, Johannesburg, Honolulu)

	I can understand choosing Reagan National over Washington Dulles due to the fact that DCA is slightly closer to the District, but why was La Guardia chosen over JFK? Both airports are in Queens and make nonstop flights to Logan and ALL Washington airports, however JFK has almost double the traffic. I know it wouldn't make any difference (I got the question right anyway) but I'm curious of your choice of airport.

	gowhere:	Apr 27th, 2012 at 14:42 GMT	1 point
	@NatAlex92: I would presume instinct. LGA is much closer to Manhattan than JFK and is the airport of choice for Washington-New York route, absent cost/transfer considerations. Does JFK really have double the traffic to DCA and BOS taking into account the fact that Delta and USAir have shuttles to each of these locatons? Of course, I prefer Amtrak to flying this route altogether, and the real bargain choices are one of the low-cost bus services.

	Very interesting quiz, and I did terribly on it. The one that surprised me the most was Washington to Vegas being longer than Atl to LA. I'm a former truck driver, and by road Washington to Vegas is way longer (turns out almost 300 miles), so it being the shorter air route surprised me!

	DarkPhalanx:	Apr 30th, 2012 at 23:28 GMT	1 point
	@NatAlex: LGA-DCA and LGA-BOS are both the shuttle routes, as gowhere explains, and have much more traffic than the respective JFK routes. For instance, Delta is running 15 DCA-LGA flights tomorrow, and a mere four DCA-JFK flights.
