Why you can’t fly to Andorra

The tiny country of Andorra is host to 11 million travelers each year. Here’s how they get there:

According to the CIA World Factbook, Andorra is a small country located between France and Spain and has a population of just over 71,000. Tourism is the country’s main industry, and its duty-free status and summer and winter resorts draw millions of visitors each year.

The catch? You can’t fly directly to Andorra. According to a recent Travel Q&A article from the New York Times, you can only enter the country by road or helicopter. The closest international airports are in Toulouse, France (115 miles away) and Barcelona, Spain (125 miles away). The article notes that daily buses run between these airports and Andorra.
