How good is your Airport Code knowledge? Put it to the test with our Airport Codes Quiz

What is an airport code? – An airport code is a unique code for an airport, made up of 3 (sometimes 4) letters, used in passenger reservation, ticketing, and baggage-handling systems.
Airport codes are a funny business. A lot of airport codes are simply the first three letters of the airport or a tidy acronym of the airport’s name. Sometimes they make perfect sense, sometimes you can just about see the connection and sometimes they have no relevance to the airport’s name at all. There are an estimated 17,576 airport codes around the world, sadly we didn’t have time to put them all into a quiz but we have picked 10 for you to tackle:
