1. GEOGRAPHY

NOTE: These are all islands or separately-owned parts of islands that belong to a country and are most definitely in the Caribbean Sea. So examples of WRONG answers would be Haiti (a country) and Bermuda (in the Atlantic). Next on the correct list would be the UK's Anguilla.
2. BUSINESS

NOTE: Only 3 are either the same airport or in the city as another airport that falls on the top 10 passenger traffic list
