Six times so in my case. I live in an area where the town council keeps changing the name of my local airport, and said local airport is insignificant enough that the name change never populates correctly to the airlines and in a timely fashion. Which any flyer in the area knows well, and the airport authority also knows well, and the general workaround and airport marketing campaign involves 'Fly VPS'. Which works well for pretty much any airline web site except for BA, where you can't just enter VPS as your home airport and actually have to remember they're using a names file that identifies the airport as 'Valparaiso, Florida', which I think was used as an official name for only a brief period in 1957.
