What does the airport code LAX stand for?

  1. Los Angeles

  2. Las Vegas

  3. Lake Charles

  4. Lexington

The correct answer is: Los Angeles

LAX stands for Los Angeles International Airport. This airport code refers to the major airport serving Los Angeles, California, which is one of the busiest and largest airports in the world. Option B, Las Vegas, is incorrect as the airport code for Las Vegas is LAS. Option C, Lake Charles, and Option D, Lexington, are incorrect as they refer to smaller regional airports with different airport codes. LAX is a common acronym used to refer to Los Angeles airport, and it can also sometimes be seen as shorthand for the city itself. However, the full name of the airport is Los Angeles International Airport and it is important to use the correct code when referring to it.
