Airport code for Allentown, PA.

Why is Allentown, PA's airport code ABE, you ask? Unlike the wacky Canadian airport codes beginning with Y, the code relates geographically, as it stands for Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton. The airport is actually about equidistant from each of those three cities, but Allentown is definitely the most well known.

The airport is officially known as Lehigh Valley International Airport, with all the irony that usually entails. There are daily flights to Toronto, Canada, but does that really justify the moniker "international"? The website for the airport can be found at http://www.lvia.org.
