List of city pair abreviations?
 
Anyone have a full list of the city pair abreviations, and applicable cities? eg: CHI (ord/mdw), WAS (bwi/dca), etc?

Thanks!

Hmm... I don't think there's EVER been a thread made on this topic....

If you just want to look up airport codes, there's http://flyertalk.com/acl, which is generally pretty good (but pretty basic).

If you mean you want a list of city codes that encompass multiple airports, these work in most reservation systems:

NYC (LGA/JFK + usually EWR)
WAS (DCA/IAD + usually BWI)
CHI (ORD/MDW)
DTT (DET/DTW)
LON (LGW/LHR/LCY + maybe LUT/STN/MSE?)
PAR (CDG/ORY)
MOW (SVO/DME)
TYO (HND/NRT)

These work in a smaller number of reservation systems:

QHO (HOU/IAH/EFD)
QDF (DFW/DAL)
QLA (LAX/ONT/BUR + maybe LGB/SNA?)
QSF (SJC/SFO/OAK)

Also, some airport-specific codes will sometimes bring up neighboring airports, too. For example:

HOU (HOU/IAH)
BJS (BJS/PEK)
SHA (SHA/PVG)

I guess MSE it's not included but the other 5 are.

I figured out NYC, WAS, and CHI. I'm surpised Denver (DEN/COS) doesn't have one, as well as MIA/FLL/PBI, as well as LAX/SNA. You'd think co-terminals would have co-city names.

BTW, QHO is in IL, QDF is in Brazil, QLA is in England, and QSF is unrecognizable (at least at nwa.com).

http://flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=324976 post #4 gave me something to work out in my searching scripts... milage circumference. FLL for 50 miles should give me PBI/MIA. Thanks!

[EDIT] BTW, nwa.com reports QLA as being in England, then returns LAX results. QDF/QHO return nothing, and QSF aren't recognizable.

Like I said, those codes only seem to work on certain reservatino systems. I know QHO used to work on Travelocity (which is based on Sabre). Not sure about the others, as I've never really used them.

As this isn't really MR related, but general travel related, I'm going to move this to TravelBuzz.

Thanks!

I'm not sure if it's exactly what you want, but here's a couple of links:

This FAA site list every domestic city and not only the applicable airports but such things as navigation aid identifiers.

This Bureau of Transportation Statistics site list every airport in the world with any type of commercial service, at least to the U.S., and that airport's identifier. It's quite a long list (over 2000 airports) and isn't searchable, so it's something of a pain to use.
