Rhyming Airport Pairs (game)

[SeatBackForward]

I've been listening to the BBC Radio series "Cabin Pressure" endlessly the past few weeks. One of their things is the games that the crew play on their flights, like "Books That Sound More Interesting with the Final Letter Knocked Off" eg. The Da Vinci Cod.

So in similar vein for AFF, I offer a Rhyming Airport pairs game. Rules are:
- Can be the 3 or 4 letter Airport codes, or
- Can be the full city names

But there must be or have been a regular serviced commercial direct flight between the two.

So I'm going to start with probably the most obvious pair:

HEL<>DEL

 

[33kft]

HEL<>DEL

Or the locally originating MEL<>DEL?

 

[SYD]

Not rhyming, I’ve done SIN and gone direct to HEL - if that counts?

HEL and BAK would be funny but currently not non stop…

 

[Archipelago]

Hmm, tricky

RGN-SGN (Yangon to Saigon, going from a current name to former name, stretching it a bit here)

Nangjing to Kuching (NJK-KCH: China Eastern, started last month)

Or the locally originating MEL<>DEL?

Definitely counts!
