Cruise from Seattle in July

[FlyerTalker]

Many codes are self-explanatory, such as AF for AirFrance, AA for American, BA for British Airways. But some are a bit "off".

 

For reference if anyone is curious:

 

jetBlue = B6

AirTran = FL

Frontier = F9

Allegiant = G4

Skybus = SX

Sun Country = SY

Horizon = QX

and Southwest = WN

 

I confess - it is so much faster/easier for me to just put in the code rather than type the whole name. I forget sometimes that I may lose people in the translation. Ditto with airports/cities. I consistently use codes in my personal notes to save typing/space. To me, New Orleans will always be MSY, Nashville is BNA, Fort Lauderdale is FLL (that one really saves typing).

Since IATA (The International Air Transport Association) has run out of letters for 2-digit codes and must now include numbers, there is still (at least) one 2-letter code that is not used--it makes for a good trivia question.
