Similar to the Black Pearl Club but without the pirates (Arrrrggghhhh!!), this accomplishment is tied to visiting coastal and island airports in the Pacific. Some are islands and some are coastal locations linked to Delta/NW/Pan Am pacific routes and destinations. You'll need to visit all 25 to complete this achievement.
Let the clam bake begin!!!!

Coincidentally one of my planned routes for today was an arrival into Okinawa. In about 2 hours my list will be down to 9.

It looks like that also applies to my list. Achievement says 10 left but I only count 9 airports in the list. Thank you for catching that Soonho. Looking at the list of airports, I count 24.

I fixed it and added a couple more. Should be 26 total now. The two I added are in northern australia, in the heart of the white pearl harvesting region from what i understand.
