I'm working on the Globetrotter accomplishment and I cannot find an airport in Dominica in our database. My research suggests there are only two airports in Dominica to begin with, and neither is on the list. Can someone help me out here?

Thanks!

Ok, I figured out the problem. There appears to be some confusion about the difference between "Dominica" and "The Dominican Republic." All of the airports in our database that are listed as "Dominica" are actually in the Dominican Republic. They are different countries. Might we want to fix this?

I just looked Noah. The answer is zero out of Dominica. I'll fix the database though to show DR. Thanks for the heads up.

Looks like I need to check historical schedules to see if there were any flights there.

Corrected to DR. No current or historical flights into Dominica that I know of.

Thanks for looking into this, Andrew. One more question: will this have any effect on the Globetrotter accomplishment? I see it still lists "Dominica" on the accomplishments page as one of the countries we are required to visit for the Globetrotter...

Technically it will Noah. I'll adjust that accomplishment. Thanks for the heads up. Keep in mind though you don't need all the airports listed for the globetrotter, just a specific number of the total.

Dominica is a seasonal destination (read winter). If I remember correctly, it was operated only on Saturdays. It is not necessary to fly there to complete the 59 destinations required for the Globetrotter accomplishment.
