I've been to Aruba though.

Not a country.

Its always a grey area

In January 1986, Aruba seceded from the Netherlands Antilles, becoming a constituent country of the Kingdom in its own right. In October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles was dissolved and Curaçao and Sint Maarten became the newest constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Quote from: Shamrock Shore on April 26, 2024, 01:08:16 PMDoes sitting on a train, travelling through a country but not setting foot on it, count?
Or transitting through an airport?

I'll leave out flying over its airspace!!

Aye, technically you had both feet in the country. As well as the rest of ye

Airspace, nah.

How about if the plane lands, but you do not get out?

Well, the tyres of the plane would have earthed you to the ground , so we'll count it

I did that once on the Isle of Man. Never actually stood on the island , but I'm claiming I've been there

A lot of people have been to Oz. On paper it's a place I'd like to have visited but the getting there is very off putting for someone who hates flying. How many 1 hr flights would it take?!

It's a fear thing rather than legroom although much better than I was. Have taken Diazepam in the past.
