Names ?? really???

Give me codes anyday, you can punch them into your planning software and find information quickly, you can drive there in your plane using the silly DCT/GPSS function without knowing where you are going, and the names are normaly hard to pronounce overseas anyway.

Lets just go for codes!!!!

(This is intended to be TiC)

Seriously Codes are hard to remember unless you try to see patterns,

e.g.
EG - Europe/GreatBritain
EGPF - Paisley Field
EGBT - Birmingham/Turweston
EGLD - London Denham
EGLF - London Farnbor'h
EGTB - Try Booker
EH - Europe/Holland
EHGG - Grotty Gronnegan
LF - Laidback France
LFAT - Average Touquet

How does everyone else remember them???
