Obviously based on the airlines your choice of departure airport will often determine the destination airport and thus if you want a specific destination airport that can be reflected in the choice of departure airport. Of course the other factors such as available dates and times to suit as well as seat availability play an important factor in what your actual flight might be. S T A typical flight ticket This is where we come into the article in more detail as the actual flight you make is enclosed with so many codes that each airline , airport , airspace authorities use on a daily basis and to the traveller are an essential part of the process of actually getting on the flight. So firstly the Airport , obviously each airport has a location and a name but that is not all that an airport has to rely on or use. From the passenger point of view they will know the airport by the name but when you get your ticket you will see various codes As you can see from the ticket image above it is for a flight from New York to London. But if you look in detail at the ticket you will see the two codes LHR and JFK. LHR is a code for London Heathrow Airport and JFK is for John F Kennedy Airport in New York So w here do these codes come from and where do I find out what airport has what code ?
