Okay, this is part two of yesterday's post:
LOL - Derby Field, Nevada. After you get there, you may have to continue on to Barreirinhas, Brazil (BRB).
MOO - Mooba, Australia. To get there, you have to start at Coquimbo, Chile (COW).
NFL - Fallon, Nevada. You can fly from there to Nambaiyufa, Papua New Guinea (NBA) or Melbourne, Florida (MLB), but if you like hockey, you're out of luck.
PIE - St. Petersburg-Clearwater International, Florida. Mmmmm. Pie. That would make a good stopover on that flight from BBQ to BLT.
TUX - Tumbler Ridge, Canada. Black tie is NOT optional.
UCE - Eunice, Louisiana. They wanted to call it SPAM, but that's too many letters.
VAT - Vatomandry, Madagascar. I'd like a flight from there to Keglsugl, Papua New Guinea (KEG).
WET - Wagethe, Indonesia. Make sure you get your towel from the flight attendant before deplaning.
WOW - Willow, Alaska. "I've got an 8:30 AM flight to WOW." I want to go there just so I can say that.
I'd
like to mention here that I was really excited for the X codes, until I
got to that portion of the list. No XXX, No XXL. Not even an XFL.
Nothing. The best I could come up with was XML, but that seemed way too
geeky to bother with.
YES - Yasouj, Iran. A flight from there to Naoro, Papua New Guinea (NOO) would be like a conversation between me and the Bomber. Actually, that would be more like a flight from Yasouj, to Naoro, back to Yasouj, and then a bunch of touch-and-goes at Naoro. YES-NOO-YES-NOO-NOO-NOO. (Also, again with the Papua New Guinea airport. How come they get all the good codes and I'm stuck with CAE?)
YYZ - Lester P. Pearson International, Toronto, Canada. This is actually not that interesting an airport code, but I had to include it, because it's also the name of an old Rush song, and if I don't, Larry will inevitably read this and go "what about YYZ?" So there you go, sweetie. ;-)
ZIG - Zinguinchor, Senegal. If you fly from here to ZAG (Pleyso, Croatia), it's going to take extra time. Plus you're probably going to get airsick. If you really want a quick trip, you'd be better off getting a flight to the Harbour Airport in Italy, also known as ZIP.
And finally, ZEN - Zenang, Papua New Guinea. (Yes, I know it's out of order; consider it poetic license.) Seems like a fitting place to land after all this travel.
