	I got 2/16... YYZ because I play Guitar Hero 2 and Rush's song is in it, and LAX because I watch the Hills. :)

	I got 8/16. Most were lucky guesses.

	Why YYZ??

	y2jdilemma:	Apr 11th, 2009 at 15:19 GMT	6 points
	When IACO was creating 3 letter codes, some groups claimed certain letters. The US Navy, for example, claimed N, so instead of NWR, Newark is EWR, and instead of NOR, Norfolk is ORF. The Canadian government claimed Y, being the last unclaimed letter, and relatively unused, so they could remain consistent. So Pearson in Toronto is YYZ, Montreal is YUL, Vancouver is YVR, Calgary is YYC etc etc...well except Bathurst New Brunswick, which is ZBF...dont ask me why on that one.

	Why Haneda? Narita is the more common airport...

	And the Rush song is named after Pearson airport's code.

	canuckliz:	Aug 13th, 2009 at 14:40 GMT	1 point
	Shouldn't the headings read "Airport" instead of "Airpot"? Am I missing something?

	Charles de Gaulle is too easy. CDG Charles De Gaulle.

	14/16 missed beijing and haneda.

	sherbel:	Jun 4th, 2010 at 06:51 GMT	1 point
	I am a little confused where these codes come from. The Airport Code for Sydney is YSSY as all the airports in Australia start with a 'Y'. Frankfurt code is EDDF as all German airports start with a 'E', Los Angeles is KLAX, Ohare is KORD etc etc. Are you guys talking about what you might see on a ticket? I am very interested in this game and would love to know more... Thanks

	@ Sherbel, these are the IATA codes, which means they are 3 letters.

	Mr_Bad_Example:	Jan 22nd, 2011 at 21:40 GMT	0 points
	Got them all in 18 seconds

	DCmetrogreen:	Feb 8th, 2011 at 20:44 GMT	1 point
	@y2jdilemma: IATA codes are three letters. ICAO codes are 4 letters.
