My score was 29,018. And I live in Florida. (I can find Florida on a map, too.)

That's true; round three has the highest point value and deviations can take off a lot. But overall one gets the hang of it pretty quickly.

I'm really impressed with your scores. I've spent a lot of time flying and in airports around the world (I believe you have also) My biggest errors were in round three when I missed the airport location by 16-25 miles.

28865 I was surprised at being only 45 miles from Minsk in the third round. I totally blew Stockholm. You have to know the exact location of the airports. It's not enough to be able to be able to pick out Munich on a map. You need to know that the airport is 30 miles northeast of the city! Fun game.

It's fun try it. I bet you learn something. Round three is the most challenging.
PS you can't be any worse at geography than my other half. I worry about him finding his way across town sometimes.

It is interesting, although my scores are mediocre at best.

I, too, worry about making it across town... or anywhere at all.

It would be embarrassing not to be at 5,000 points at the end of the first round.

The game gets easier with practice, once you learn where this map thinks certain airports are.

Indeed - Arlanda is a great example of that as well. Stockholm is miles away.

Imagine if Ryanair made a similar game - then it wouldn't just be a few miles - then it could be completely different countries, e.g. when taking Ryanair to Copenhagen you actually end up in Sweden - not Denmark. :confused: How this is legal I've never understood.
