What's the oddest air route in your opinion?

Westray to Papa Westray in Scotland: 90 seconds under normal conditions, 60 seconds by favourable winds.

FNJ to KWI with TU204 (JS 161) was also pretty odd but canceled since Oct 2016.

Re: The World's Oddest Air Routes
Wasn't there a Brazzaville-Kinshasa service at one time? Just a hop across the river.
Re: The World's Oddest Air Routes
Indeed. I think that Sabena once operated that route as an add-on to its FIH route.jan_olieslagers wrote: ↑15 Oct 2017, 21:37 Wasn't there a Brazzaville-Kinshasa service at one time? Just a hop across the river.

VIE-BTS, sadly no longer available.
Also the kind of routings we avgeeks can create to get from A to B will certainly look odd to a vast majority

I once booked FLL-CLT-MIA-SJU as a single ticket (and actually cheaper than the same MIA-SJU flight). The look of the check-in agent at FLL was priceless
