Which city code stands for Seattle?

  1. SEA

  2. SLC

  3. SAN

  4. SJC

The correct answer is: SEA

The city code for Seattle is indeed SEA. This three-letter code is part of the IATA (International Air Transport Association) airport code system, which is used worldwide to identify airports and their corresponding cities. SEA is an easily recognizable abbreviation derived from the city name itself, reflecting the common practice of shortening city names for efficient communication in the aviation industry. In contrast, SLC represents Salt Lake City, SAN refers to San Diego, and SJC stands for San Jose. Each of these codes corresponds to different cities and thus helps distinguish between them in travel-related contexts.
