A closer look

When you are God's representative on Earth, you do not wait in line at TSA. The smallest sovereign country in the world is a mere 109 acres, meaning a runway would obliterate half the historical architecture. Instead, the Pope utilizes a discreet little heliport tucked into the western corner of the city-state. It is strictly used for VIP pontifical flights and the occasional emergency, keeping His Holiness comfortably above the Roman traffic.
