Name the mystery airport from its airline departure data.
Two airports. Five guesses each. Type the name or IATA code. You win when you name the right airport within five tries.
The starting clue is one marquee airline serving the airport. That alone is often enough for aviation fans. Each wrong guess unlocks more context — another airline and its departure frequency.
US mode — the mystery airport is somewhere in the United States. Easier if you know the US aviation network. Think ATL, ORD, DFW, CLT, DEN plus smaller hubs like SEA, LAS, MSP, DTW, LGA.
World mode — the answer could be any major airport globally. LHR, CDG, FRA, AMS, IST, DXB, SIN, HND, NRT, ICN, and many more.
AirlineQ gives you two mystery airports each day — one US hub and one from anywhere in the world. You have five guesses per airport. You start with one marquee airline. Each wrong guess reveals another airline and its departure frequency.
US mode restricts the answer to airports inside the United States — great for aviation fans who know the domestic network well. World mode pulls from every major commercial airport globally. Both modes launch a new puzzle daily.
We pull live departure data from the real flight network. The revealed airlines and their departure frequencies are your clues. Hubs are very distinctive: if Delta is #1 with 400+ departures, you're looking at ATL, JFK, DTW, MSP, or LGA.
Type the airport name or IATA code. A correct guess wins immediately. Wrong guesses show the great-circle distance and compass direction to the correct airport, plus a new clue.
12 AM Eastern every day. Weekends use the same schedule.
No. You can type full airport names. IATA codes (3-letter) and ICAO codes (4-letter) also work if you prefer the shortcut.
Start with the airline mix. If you see two legacy US carriers in the top three (say Delta + American), you're almost certainly looking at a major US hub they both serve. If the top airline is Ryanair, you're in Europe and specifically at a low-cost carrier hub like STN, CRL, BGY.
