This is not accurate. Ethiopian Airways offers direct, non-stop service from Washington-Dulles to Addis Ababa. I have a feeling that you can fly direct to a few of these other countries as well.

Garuda the indonesian airline offer daily flights from London to Jakarta. So the top answer is wrong also.

Vietnam Airways used to offer direct between Ho Chi Minh City and San Francisco, but it appears to have been discontinued. I feel Vietnam could be correct. North Korea is correct. DRC is currently correct, although I'm assuming in a few years direct flights will start back up between London and Kinshasa. As already stated, Indonesia is not correct.

Going by wikitravel, Nepal is correct. I don't know much about travel to Nepal. Burma is correct. Sudan Airways no longer offers direct flights to London, so for the time being Sudan is correct. Iraqi Airways apparently offers direct flights between London and Baghdad, but I'm not really positive as it won't let me book it (http://www.iraqiairways.co.uk/en/booking1.asp). I don't see anything into Afghanistan.

Awesome idea for a quiz, but as people have said there are too many errors. To add just one more, Ethiopian also flies direct to Heathrow. But this is a neat idea, so double check your stats and you'll have a cool quiz.

Ok, I fixed Ethiopia, but I can't find flights from Jakarta to London on the Garuda Indonesia website. Do you have another source?

hogarthb that is wrong, Garuda have not flown to London at all for years -- not re-instated after the EU ban, and maybe canceled even longer ago. liljonathan, keep an eye on Guam, though, for years there were flights from there to Denpasar on CO/Air Mike.
