I mean, yeah it takes very little time to find out but to be honest I wouldn't do it. I'm also willing to bet 90% of posters who read that earlier post and didn't know what that city was, also didn't bother finding out what it was.

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but if you're mentioning a city just say the damn city. Even if you're specifically at the airport still say the name of the city.
I think because he was stuck at that actual airport, and not using the airport code to describe the city itself. I could be wrong though. I read it as them being at the airport.
