Every airport has a unique three-letter IATA code. Some make sense if you know the city or the name of the airport and others need some explanation. For example: Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands has the code AMS, which honors the nearby city of Amsterdam. But why does Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Canada, has YYZ?
Knowing what each IATA code stands for isn't super useful, but it sure can be fun.
