That's what I meant, 6 continents (except Antartica obviously)

Ironically, Delaware is the only state you can't fly to from O'Hare (ok, Wyoming is only flyable direct seasonally).
That's cause our only commercial Airport (Wilmington Airport) only has 3 flights a week to Orlando on Frontier and that's it. Delaware used to be the only state in the country without commercial service until Frontier returned this year. Our proximity to PHL, BWI, DCA, IAD, JFK, EWR, and LGA hurts us. You used to be able to fly nonstop from Chicago to Wilmington from 2013-2015.
