I'd say that that most pax outside the U.S. are familiar with those codes in my experience. It's probably an international thing that folks who fly domestically in the U.S. don't see much. Once again, apologies for the technical pilot stuff on PPRuNe.
For example:
NRT (Narita, Japan - Near Tokyo)
LHR (London, England)
CDG (Paris, France)
