Please accept DFW for dallas fort worth, because that is what I have heard a lot of people calling it and that is what I call that airport as well.

2020 data is probably the worst year you could use, this is the year everything got messed up to covid. this makes the title relatively misleading

Please accept "Orange County" for Santa Ana. The airport is owned by the county and is the only commercial airport in the county as well.

Or John Wayne. Tried both of them and NEVER would have thought to put Santa Ana. The only one I missed.

Can you just accept Washington or DC for both airports? Seems like an odd distinction considering you allow just the city for the rest.

Every official three-letter airport code should work as an answer for the corresponding airport.

Yeah, no. "Dal" got me "Dallas (DAL)" so, given that every other city name gives you every airport in that city, we must be done with Dallas. If you have to type all of Dallas to get Dallas/Fort Worth, then don't accept "Dal" for DAL.

San Jose should be on here, with over 12M commercial passengers in 2023.

Also, random choices of when to allow 3-letter codes is aggravating. Getting HOU but not Houston, and DAL but not Dallas, sucks.

If you are going to accept Dal for Dallas, can it also be accepted for the other Dallas airport as well? I almost didn't get it cause I you accepted it for both Dallas airports?
