Check out the landing strip on the little Island of Saba... truly one you would want to close your eyes , landing or taking off. One flight in a day and 1 flight out... Crazy ... sailing in seems a little safer... on the heart.

Courchevel is a heart stopper but don't miss if you can fly in.

The vista is incredible and the skiing is some of the best.

You should fly in St. Barts airport, as the water is right at the end of the runway and they stol aircraft because it is so short, but the view is great.

 The most breathtaking airport to me is San Diego international every landing there takes my breah away. I  once saw a couple doing it on top of a parking garage. Check it out there are dozens of Vids on youTube  St Maartens is pretty neat. those are the only ones that I have first hand experience.
