Airport distance and “how far from home”
We compute miles to the nearest large-hub airport. It is geography — not culture fit.
October 7, 2026
Homesickness is real; “nearest large-hub airport” is a blunt proxy for flyability. On this site it is a computed distance from campus coordinates to the nearest FAA large-hub airport — useful for logistics, useless as a personality score.
Where to look
- Easiest to fly home from and hardest to reach sort that single computed measure.
- Engine hard filters can cap airport miles when travel cost is non-negotiable.
- Culture, weather, and “feels like home” still require visits and conversations — not a mile marker.
