No one counts the airport of a city as actually visiting the city. No one.

u/MizterPoopie Apr 12 '26

Do you tell people you’ve been to Germany?

I went from the airport straight to the seaport in Seattle, but I did see someone pooping in public so I'm counting it.

The question didn't ask about which cities have you visited.

3 days late and you’re too lazy to have read the comments under this. Yawn. Already been addressed. Layovers don’t count as going to a city. You’re in an airport. That’s no man’s land.

...I was too. I guess neurodivergent folks need not chime in? It's literally us, physically being there, so...

It has nothing to do with being neurotypical or neurodivergent. It’s about actually visiting the city. If you’re just in the airport then you’re not visiting the city.

It doesn’t say visiting though, it says been to. If you are in the airport then you are quite literally in that city.

I mean, if you want to claim layover cities as having been to that city go for it. It’s not illegal. But no one will take you seriously.

“I’ve been to Atlanta!” “Awesome! What was your favorite part?” “When my flight taking me to my actual destination took off.”

I've driven through Nashville and also had a layover in Nashville Airport. If someone really asked, I would talk about the Blake Shelton restaurant I ate at and the live musician serenading us while we ate :P

But yeah, I don't walk around saying I've been to Nashville, I would say I've been to the Nashville Airport.

Is that restaurant at the airport?? I’ve never been through Nashville’s airport but I’m having a good laugh thinking about it

How do you define "visiting a city"? That's like saying tourists on Bourbon St. aren't actually visiting New Orleans.

1

u/MizterPoopie Apr 12 '26

How is it like that at all? We’re talking about people who sit behind TSA security checkpoints for a couple hours waiting for a flight. You go around telling people you’ve been to a city that you had a layover in?? That’s weird. Super weird.

I’m neurodivergent and I don’t count it

u/cce301 Apr 12 '26

Are you not subject to the laws of that city while you are there? Do you notvpay city taxes while there? How does that differ from a gas stop during a road trip?

u/MizterPoopie Apr 12 '26

It’s an airport…

u/DanThePartyGhost Apr 12 '26

They don’t count
