Interesting, I wonder how many other mix-ups like that there are. For AC, I wonder if the silly Canadian airport code system plays a role at times, e.g. do some people sometimes book to YYZ instead of YYC. Or do the people who would make those mistakes just type "Toronto" rather than use airport codes?
