It’s nice to see things well organized and tracked. Ever wonder what those 3 character codes you see at the airport monitor screen, e-ticket information, airline or travel agency website? Here’s a travel tip.
That 3 character code is called the IATA – Location identifier or airport code. These codes are the best identifiers to help you determine where the airport you’ll be leaving is located. This comes handy if there is more than 1 airport in your area. If you just go by the name of the city airport there might be a tendency you’ll get lost or confused with one or the other. It’s best to tell a travel agent what airport code you’ll be leaving from, it saves half the time when booking/exchanging a flight.
A classic scenario would be when a customer checks the itinerary confirmation and leaves for the airport following the area name like Washington DC as printed in the itinerary yet not knowing he went to Washington Reagan (DCA) instead of Washington Dulles (IAD).
To avoid situations like these, my all time travel tip would be to call the airline and confirm the reservation at least 24 hours prior to travel date. All travel itineraries has the airport code printed.
Here’s a list of the major airport codes in the US:
Atlanta (ATL) – Hartsfield International Airport
Boston (BOS) – Boston Logan International Airport
Chicago (ORD) – O’Hare International Airport
Chicago (MDW) – Midway
Dallas (DFW) – Dallas Fort Worth International Airport
Dallas (DAL) – Dallas Love Field
Detroit (DTW) – Detroit Metro Airport
Houston (IAH) – George Bush Intercontinental Airport
Houston (HOU) – Houston Hobby
Los Angeles (LAX) – Los Angeles International Airport
New York (JFK) – John F. Kennedy International Airport
New York (LGA) – La Guardia Airport
New York (EWR) – Newark Liberty Airport
San Francisco (SFO) – San Francisco International Airport
Washington DC (DCA) – Ronald Reagan Airport
Washington DC (IAD) – Dulles International Airport

idk why…but i found this hysterical…
nice
several reasons:
1. both of us work there
2. amenities: since the airport pays for noise mitigation, houses close to it tend to have new and good insulation, new windows and central AC – all of it paid for
3. it's cool to see your friend's plane take off
They will just check electronics for bombs or explosive materials through an x-ray machine. They won't actually look into it.
The Manila-Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1, which serves all international flights (except those of Philippine Airlines) is such a nightmare.
First, the terminal is outdated. With only 16 gates, some aircraft have to be parked at orphan gates and sometimes even in the cargo apron as the two aprons of the terminal can only accommodate as much as 16 aircraft at one time.
Second, the check-in counters are so wanting of repair. The baggage conveyors bog down every few minutes and the weighing scales do not work at all.
Third, the airconditioning is very poor. If you are a businessman queueing up for check-in, even on a business class line, you'd feel the heat and you'd want to take off your suit.
Fourth, the rest rooms are so decrepit. Sometimes the urinals and the water closets do not even flush. Worse, there are no tissue paper and soap in the wash rooms.
Fifth, the boarding gates are so crammed. If two full flights served by jumbo planes like Boeing 747-400s are parked at two adjoining gates, you'd expect that the passengers of both flights would be crammed in a space allotted for just half of one plane.
Sixth, the parking area is so far from the curb that passengers on wheelchairs have difficulty in navigating from car to terminal or vice versa.
Seventh, there are very few dining and shopping facilities in the transit area. How would you expect transit passengers to spend in the transit area if there's virtually nothing to do?
Eighth, the airport sits in a congested area of the metropolis, in Paranaque City. That suburb is populated by middle class families and subdivisions and villages are generally circling the airport. Thus, traffic is inevitable. It can take an hour to reach the departure area from the ramp approaching the airport.
Ninth, when it rains, the ceiling of the departure area drips. Don't laugh when you see pails or drums on the floor, virtually waiting for the next drop of water from the ceiling.
Tenth, the security measures are erratic. Some entrances may be strict while others are lax.
There are much more problems in Manila's gateway airport. It's such a pity that it used to be one of the best airports in the seventies. But as it is now, it has gone a sorry state.
apparently there’s no women on the plane except for the flight attendant
I don’t know why but this cheered me up.
A small jet uses about 40 gallons an hour. that means it the equivalent of 20 cars that get 30mpg. thats not much pollution at all, considering that just in the general area of your house there are thousands of cars but only a few jets.
I've never had a problem with SFO, and I've flown in and out of there countless times. You could take BART, or a lot of hotels have shuttles that go by outside the lower level baggage claim. That's where I've seen them while waiting for my bus. Call your hotel and see if they have a shuttle.
this is great haha (Y)
