By the way, not understanding the US, what is PHX and ORD, regions? districts? I know they are not States.

I travel quite a bit in my job (or at least used to). All airports worldwide are assigned a 3 character code by the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Often the code makes sense (in other words, it has something to do with the name of the airport or the city). For example, San Francisco is SFO, Baltimore-Washington is BWI, London is LHR (Heathrow) or LGW (Gatwick), Paris is CDG (Charles de Gaulle) or ORY (Orly), and so on.
Sometimes the code doesn't seem to make much sense, though. Orlando International is MCO, and New Orleans is MSY. If one were interested enough to do the research, then maybe the code would make some sense. For example, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport was originally called Moisant Field, hence the MSY code, and Orlando International Airport was originally a Strategic Air Command base called McCoy Air Force Base.
If you are interested enough to still be reading thisthen you may find it interesting to note that IATA airline codes are always two characters. For example, Delta is DL, United is UA, Lufthansa is LH, Singapore Airlines is SQ, and so on.

So... THAT happened. (again)
Thanks to the Moderation Team for putting this trust with me. At this rate, hopefully I'll be Shark by the end of the year!
