As per @Yaalili and @cgr 's suggestions,

Removed:
Bouvet Island
British Indian Ocean Territory
French Southern and Antarctic Lands
Heard Island and McDonald Islands
Johnston Atoll
Midway
Wake

I think leave these as stretch goals. Ya never know.

I'm always jealous of the pax diverted to Midway who also gets a tour while there.

Great update!

The numbers for the last 2 unvisited regions are off, like it says 15 unvisited Oceania but 17 listed.

Jetblue is starting nonstop JFK to Bonaire tomorrow if anyone wants to go and cross that off 😝

Ticking off Jersey (part of UK) - did that as a free side-trip to Israel to UK flight on Avios. Got to spend the day there and save money as no extra Avios - and by starting return flight to Israel from Jersey exempts it from UK Air Passenger Duty. And due to a quirk on Avios, you could pay for economy flight TLV-LHR and get domestic flight in business thrown in for free.

From Tokyo, not quite the same appeal.

K fiiiine. I'll add them back on the off chance I fulfil my dream of making it to Midway.

Great update!

Thanks, will fix.

Missed that, will update.

Sweet! Will update.

I read that as being facetious...

1) Jersey was visited by 2035
2) The 3 above currently in "Asia" should be moved to "Oceania" section.
3) Easter Island currently in "Oceania" should be moved to "South America".

1) Yep, will add.
2) Not sure how why they ended up there, will update.
3) Politically, yes. But it's considered part of Polynesia so I put it in Oceania (plus do you or do you not want to check off an entire continent here ;D).

All updated.

Now here's the real question - we're at 198 now. Who's gonna do the big 200? I have at least one tentatively scheduled for December ;).

Anyone want to start a thread like this one, but for countries? Could be cool to see.

Not including all the made-up territories, we have Europe, North America, and South America completed on DDF, not bad!
