Scenic?
Well, umm. Sure.
Gibralter Airport definitely should be on the list.
Bermuda is nice...
I always liked Don Muang, which has a golf course immediately beside the runway and taxi way. The new airport is same old thing as most airports.
Been to most of those airports and love the approach but the ride in into McCall, Idaho on a private jet and the approach over a lake, in the valley with woods and meadows is just stunning, with the mountains on either side.
Especially when your approach is over the lake at 500 feet and you can see people fishing from their two man boats and hearing the computer say 500 feet! 500 feet!
Just beautiful.
The approach into Rio’s in-town airport is breathtaking. The problems start after you land.
San Diego inbound from the east may not be scenic, but sure is intimidating to watch the buildings ABOVE you on both sides of the aircraft...definite pucker factor...
The Coast Guard Air Station in Astoria Oregon is kind of pretty...it’s right where the Columbia River flows into the Pacific.
Although it is the least used landing path, Laguardia up the Hudson,with the Statue of Liberty on the left.

I like to fly in to Venice Municipal, KVNC. Usually fly out over the water of the gulf for final and there are great restaurants all over. You can wal to the beach.
Beautiful with golf along side and a family of Bald Eagles that use a radar tower yearly for their nest.
The one’s I’ve personally flown into include Rio, NYC, Hong Kong, London, and I would add Nice (FR), Geneva (Switerland), Kahului (Maui) and flying into West Berlin before the fall of the Wall over East German airspace was a trip. They had you flying at a low altitude and you could actually see the guard towers on the Wall.
Reagan National at night remains a personal favorite.
Mexico City at about midnight, in clear weather, coming or going. Stunning, beautiful.
I’m not a well traveled person really, but these two are neat:
McCarran at night (Las Vegas Strip)
Anchorage, AK
My favorite is always that last one I walked away from.
Hong Kong made the list!
“Even as often as I’ve flown, there’s still a sense of the wow factor landing there in a huge 747,” says Fogwell, who writes about her flight experiences for the Huffington Post and other publications.”
Great...a Huffpo piece..
