This is not a listing of all airport codes this is a list of those special codes that cover multiple airports. Ask your airline if they allow interlining tickets - checking your luggage through to the final destination on multiple tickets. Smaller domestic airports are more likely to be served by low cost airlines but that might also force you to re-check your luggage. In particular, many major cities channel most international flights through one airport and most domestic or short-haul flights into a different one. Some booking engines which include airports based on distance from a point can be tricked into extending the search through use of the city code.Įxtra caution is advised when booking connecting flights, however, as the inbound leg may arrive at a different airport from the outbound leg, necessitating a ground transfer that may be costly or time-consuming. Metropolitan area airport codes are handy for simplifying flight searches into or out of a region. In some systems, Westchester County Airport IATA: HPN is also included however, IATA: ZYP (New York Penn Station), IATA: ISP (Islip Airport), and IATA: JRA (West 30th Street Heliport) are generally not.
Not every region served with multiple airports is assigned a location identifier, however, nor are all IATA-recognized facilities necessarily included furthermore, the inclusion or exclusion of a facility may depend on the booking system.įor example, the IATA: NYC code, represents the New York City area, including flights to John F Kennedy International Airport IATA: JFK, Newark Liberty International Airport IATA: EWR and LaGuardia Airport IATA: LGA.
The IATA, the FAA (US Federal Aviation Administration), and various booking engines have assigned "city codes" which represent several airports serving a metropolitan area.
