Frequent travelers may already be familiar with the three letter codes which are used as airport designators. Knowing these codes make it quicker to search for flights and fares online, and make it easier for you to double check that your checked bags are going to the same place that your are.
Some of the airport codes are obvious, others are not. But not paying attention to the airport code can mean you’re traveling to Long Beach, California (LGB) instead of New York LaGuardia (LGA).
You can search for information about nearly every airport in the world at World Airport Codes, where you can search by country, city, airport name, or airport code. Before beginning any travel planning, make sure you know that accurate airport code for your departure and arrival city.
