Dave, Without suggesting that Frankfurt has not been carefully researched (I gather it has and have some personal experience with meeting arrangements, not just individual visits that leads me to agree with the conclusion, whether you approve of such personal experiences or not), I don't think you can dismiss it as either "random" or even "arbitrary". One of the major criteria that has often been suggested --I think even by you-- is "major airline hub". As far as I know, there are four such hubs in Europe: London (where we have met and are planning to meet again), Paris (where we have met), Amsterdam (where we have met), and Frankfurt. I would consider Copenhagen, Munich (where we have met), and a few other places as secondary hubs; YMMD. I think its being the only place on that first list where we have not met makes "why not Frankfurt" an entirely reasonable and actually highly focused and predictable question. If he had said "why not Köln-Bonn" or "why not Nice" or any of dozens of other smaller, non-hub airports, "arbitrary" would have been in order. But "Frankfurt" is no more arbitrary than Chicago, Dallas, or New York -- there may be perfectly good reasons to avoid all three (although we have met in Chicago and Dallas), but it seems to me that asking about _any_ airline hub city that significant can certainly not be dismissed as "arbitrary". john
