danb_lap: I was just on phone to British airways and asked about getting email confirmation of a flight change; they pointed me at this.
DanCon: evil back-button-breaking redirect
danb_lap: It wanted my surname and my (sekret? I don't know...) Amadeus booking code. There's also a version for mobile users, maybe WAP/WML?, but seems to be offline currently.
danb_lap: They have an 'email this itinerary to a friend in text or html' facility too. I've just requested one, to see what the formatting's like.
danb_lap: Hmm, email hasn't arrived yet. There's also a 'add to my desktop calendar' facility, which appears to depend on a (veri-signed) plugin, and, I think, on Windows.
 
DanCon: and DanC

DanCon: "This SQL table of little more than 8000 airports around the world has been compiled from various sources on the Internet. I believe I?ve had to do a sufficient amount of my own work and data mangling to call this my own. "

DanCon: "The other option is to buy the official Location ID codes from IATA; an annual subscription to the data is $2,190.00 (USD)."
DanCon: looks like an unstable marketplace of info; seems more efficient to have a million monkeys take GPS readings and use statistical methods to eliminate noise/forgery
DanCon: Jibberjim converted it to RDF in a matter of seconds; e.g. PLZ, LHR, JNB
JibberJim: Airports by country e.g. GB also available.
JibberJim: Airport data is different to Mike Dean's no idea which is more accurate.
 
Morbus: :Grab the code from the CVS, follow the instructions here
