[QUOTE=farenthold;10769495]I think CO thinks this feature is no longer necessary because of the include airports within x miles check box. The checkbox does not, however, include the nearby airports in a common results screen. I think they sould bring LON and NYC back. QUOTE]

I think they just screwed up. (1) to use the "within x miles" check box, you have to go to advanced search which is a pain if not necessary for other reasons, (2) the "within x miles" doesn't work. (3) a city code (ie. NYC) does work once you make the initial search and you're in Select a Flight screen, (4) and other search engines (KVS, Expedia) use city codes all the time,
