Short-haul I usually crack out a 737 and hop around the UK. Medium Haul - I'm a sucker for EGCC (Manchester, UK) to GCTS (Reina Sofia, Tenerife) which is a flight I have travelled on many times in real life. Long Haul I do anything! I have flown around the world in 2-6000nm hops many times before, I fly alot from the UK to the US, Australia, Hawaii, Fiji etc all the exotic locations I wish i was rather than stuck in Birmingham!

I fly from KTKI, McKinney Municipal (Formal: Collin County Regional Airport at McKinney) in McKinney, Texas for my regional and small airplane flying, just like in reality.

For my airline flights, I duplicate my flights that I fly in reality in the 757 from Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport (KDFW) in the sim and fly them to wherever is required, then compare the sim to the real thing. Sometimes when I fly the 757 out somewhere I take a Cessna or a Baron and troll around the area for a while, just for amusement.

The amusement and fantasy flying is always fun.  Like the time i flew the RFP 742 UNDER the Golden Gate Bridge.  It fit. Barely.  I think the belly got a little spray on it.  I also like shooting the Grand Canyon in a P-51 or a Corsair.  Sometimes I do it with an F-18 or the FSD T-38

Hobart, Devonport, and Tazmania. ;)

Quite a beautiful country.

Oh and I downloaded KHOL and fly out of and around (and inside...) the Arkansas "Hole" every once and a while. That's always fun when you aren't flying under a bridge (yup I do that too), buzzing around in the Extra, or takin' a fighter jet for a spin.

I like those big airports, any will do like Dallas. But Jamica is cool, just like landing on the water.

But usually I get my flights from livewire, there are to many to count. I dig the that place.

I'm all over the northern hemisphere mostly.  I fly for the Flying Tigers Group's many VAs.  Circled the globe 2 times...Logged 146 hours of real time.  But now I have arrived in New York and plan on flying to various destinations that Jetblue offers.  But I like to explore so if im in an interesting destination its time to break out the props and do some site seeing ;)  Eventualy after the north gets boring I will make my way down to the southern hemisphere and see what it has to offer ;)

Short hauls to long hauls just pick a destination and find a way to get there from your current spot ;)

i fly from anywhere in the United Sates to anywhere in US
You should try doing a IFR from Sacromento to SaltLakeCity, and make sure it has fairly bad weather.
