Know Your Airport Codes?
With the label LHR attached to your bag, you’ll be heading to Heathrow. Fly to Gatwick, it will be LGW; Manchester MAN. So far, so obvious. But airport codes – the three letters assigned to each airport by the International Air Transport Association – are not always so easily formed.
Not all airport codes are made up of the first three letters of the airport name, or are a neat acronym of it. Some are combinations that raise an eyebrow, while other innocuous codes refer to airports with ridiculous names.
If you’re someone who occasionally tries guessing other people’s destinations from their tags, this quiz is for you.
