The media executive is an accomplished pilot.

1. Manaus International, Brazil. Manaus is in the Amazon rainforest and access is mostly via airplane or boat.

3. Noi Bai, Hanoi, Vietnam. The main airport in this one-time enemy capital now serves upwards of 13 million passengers annually.

4. Reykjavik, Iceland. The gateway to a fascinating country.

5. Paro, Bhutan. Only a handful of pilots are certified to land at Paro, which is surrounded by mountains and ranks among the world’s most challenging airports.
