TRAVEL GUIDES

How to check airport codes and terminals

Match your ticket’s airport code, terminal and transfer route rather than relying on a city name.

Answers for your trip

Does the same city name mean the same airport?

Do not assume that. IATA provides three-letter airport codes through its official code search. Match the code on your ticket to the airport guide, checking departure, arrival and connecting segments separately. A translated airport name or a city search result is not enough to identify your airport.

Does a matching airport code confirm the terminal?

Check the airport code and terminal separately. Compare your ticket, airline flight information and the airport’s official departures or arrivals. A terminal description here documents facilities; it is not a live assignment for your flight.

What should I compare before booking a city transfer?

Check the boarding terminal, arrival stop, vehicle changes and operation on your travel date. Time to a city station can differ from the full journey to your hotel. Use the airport guides and the linked transport operators to confirm the conditions for each segment.
