I misread that for a sec and though you said you leave a #1. I was wondering what you’re doing at Delhi airport.

Most people would be surprised to learn that one of the busiest airports in Australia is a tiny little facility in suburban Perth.

Jandakot Airport is the 5th busiest (by aircraft movements) airport in Australia.

It's busier than Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide Airport.

While it isn't a go-to destination, it is quite convenient living near enough to fly out of. Year before last I went to Jamaica and met a couple from Scotland who told me of their seeming nightmare journey while I had an easy two-hour flight. Same with Cancun this year - met a German who had a long, long flight with a change, while I only had a quick two-hour flight.  Non-stop to most any place I want to go from ATL - did Japan a few weeks ago -  but not AUS, as far as I know.

I live right near Australia's first international airport. Not busy but you can get a good coffee there, and say hi to Mal and Lucy as they walk past.
