❓ IATA vs ICAO codes: what's the difference?

IATA codes are 3 letters used for ticketing and baggage tags (e.g. PEK). ICAO codes are 4 letters used for air traffic control and flight plans (e.g. ZBAA). Travelers only need to know IATA codes.

❓ Why do some codes seem unrelated to the city?

Some codes come from historical names (ORD = Chicago O'Hare, originally Orchard Field). Others changed because the original code was taken (BJS no longer refers to Beijing city, now PEK).
