For example, if you fly to Paris, France you'll be arriving at CDG; leaving from Los Angeles: LAX. Find these codes on an airline website.

The international airport code is a three letter code that identifies the airport for the sake of clear communication. Sometimes it is logical in that London Heathrow is LHR. Sometimes it is less so in that Chicago is ORD. Websites that have the international airport codes can be easily searched on the internet.
