Knot-in-your-throat airports to land at.....

62. I've flown the 737 in and out of St Maarten many times

Its not as bad as it looks when you're doing the flying. There's a little bar on the beach right at the west end of the runway where you can watch the takeoffs and landings. They have outdoor speakers that broadcast the tower frequency. I would always admonish the people hanging on the fence there to be careful before taking off.

LaGuardia I'll be landing at this evening. I don't mind it, though it feels small when you're flying larger equipment (757 tonight).

Santa Ana, Ca, isn't one of my favorites, mostly because of the very close proximity to the general aviation runway.

Quito, Equador can be a challenge when it's night and/or weather. For some reason, it's been both most of the times I've gone there. You land late at night, in the pouring rain. The next morning, you step out of the hotel, look around, and say to yourself, "wow.". The takeoff is also sporting. You're already almost at 10,000 feet while on the ground, and the airport is surrounded by high terrain. Still worth going....it's a great city.
