Hmm, ABC is Peking? Thought Beijing (aka Peking) is PEK.

Seems that a lot of the confusion stems from codes coming form the name of the airport, instead of the name of the city. E.g., SVO is Shermetyevo, to distinguish it from Domodyevo, Moscow's other airport. And IAH of course is Intercontinental Airport Houston.
