WHAT airport am I flying into?
Every international airport (AFAIK) has a unique 3 letter code assigned to it by the IATA. Some are fairly obvious, like ATL (Atlanta, GA). Others are less obvious but popular enough that most travelers would recognize it, EWR (Newark, NJ). But then you have the obscure, or downright unfortunate:
1. DIE
Arrachart, Madagascar
2. YUM
Yuma, AZ. Is all that sand tasty?
3. IOU
Ile Ouen, New Caledonia
4. PEE
Perm, Russia. If you flew Aeroflot to get there, then yeah, you probably do.
5. FUN
Funafuti, Tuvalu. Must be a great place. Just typing it had me cracking up.
6. WOW
Willow, Alaska. Not so much.
7. ODD
Oodnadatta, Australia
8. BUM
Butler Airport, Missouri
9. FAT
Fresno Air Terminal, Fresno CA. At least this one makes perfect sense.
10. MOM
Leftofar, Mauritania. Maybe you need to come back right some to get to
11. DAD
Da Nang, Vietnam.
