but I'm no nearer to why Meadowlake is ØØV
or Orlando MCO ? I guess at some stage they just ran out of ' logical ' letters to use and had to use what was available.
Don't get confused between IATA - the letters on your baggage tag - and ICAO either, often totally different, London Heathrow is EGLL in ICAO-speak and LHR in IATA-speak.
The World has a long way to go to achieve standardisation, I mean, when is the USA going to start driving on the left hand side of the road !!
