London England & Benin City Nigeria are both incorrect.  Sorry, guys and girls. Some answers are very close. Hint # 15 (? I think...): Two answers given are within 100 miles of my destination.

Nic also guessed Mauritius. Nope, sorry my brother/sister!  Just FYI: (I had to look it up...) Geography Mauritius is located approximately 2000 kilometres to the south eastern coast of Africa and lies east of Madagascar on 20°5, 57.5E. The country covers an area of 1865km_ with 330 kilometres of coastline. Mauritius is 45km in width and 65km in length. I would LOVE to got there! CCF ! Let's do a cruise there!

Though tempted to head for Mauritius, you will follow flight plans and land in Muscat, Oman.

WOW! Cool. This definitely made my Sunday night as I periodically check CCF while working (for work) through this beautiful weekend.
I learned alot about geography after getting some of those clues. Thanks for the excitement.

Nice job novillero!
Thanks for the contest Moe. I'm not a code-breaker, so I was happy to have a shot at this one.

Lagos, Nigeria Congrats! novillero I was heading that way pretty quick. You were on the ball and deserve it. Thanks for the contest Moe. I sure liked it better than those code breakers. hint hint! If you are forced to land in one of the other airports in Nigeria, don't forget me.  I knew that had to be one nasty place. Now what are these 282 people going to do there? Is this a humanitarian effort?

With 11 flight attendants and 4 pilots (I took myself out of the equation..) it adds up to 282 people (who aren't going anywhere if I don't go). Some passengers may be going for humanitarian reasons but I'm going for a purely mercenary reason (i.e., I don't get paid if I don't fly the airplane!) Thanks again to everyone that played! It was fun!(Novillero! Congratulations again! PM me whenever you're ready for some silver!)
