    Since I discovered this forum a few weeks ago I realised I’m nowhere near as smart as I thought I was. This thread reinforces that :(

    Just as a reminder, it is what the attraction is, not the city/location it is in

    Ahhh Ted!
    You ask the location in the questions! I'll have to submit answers again 2moro.
    Maybe clarify in the questions? You have mentioned location, a lot!

    Answers sent.

    This is much tougher than I thought it would be. I know about half of them, the rest were just guesswork.
    And I'm terrible with airport codes, can't even remember the ones of airports I've been to! :o

    I'm in, Ted, guesses to follow this afternoon. (A lot of the IATA codes will mostly be a shot in the dark, though :mad:)

    Shout out to Bubbly over in the "Guess The Location" thread in CVP&L for the link to here.

    That wasn't clear in the question. If you've already submitted the cities I think that should be enough tbh.

    The airport and the city are one and the same for the most part.

    If the answer is Heathrow, that is the answer not London.

    As I've made a royal mess of this. City will do, unless it is a particular one in that city.

    Ted,

    Very questionable guesses submitted.

    Not vaguely related to any pontential answer here (I think), but I'm a huge fan of sporcle.com. It's a sad state of affairs when you copy the word "Massachusetts" to your clipboard beforehand because (a) it might come up as an answer and (b) you're nearly fifty years old and you still don't know how to spell "Massachusetts".

    * Connecticut has an unexpected 'c' in it, too :confused:
