TYO is not Narita. Tokyo/Narita is NRT. TYO may be Haneda.
BUE is not Buenos Aires either. That airport code is EZE, for Ezeiza, unless
it is for the other downtown Buenos Aires airport.
MIL is not Milan. Milan's airports are MXP (Malpensa) and LIN for Linate.
Milwaukee is MKE.

STO would be - ? I know ARL is Stockholm/Arlanda. BTW, names of airports would be extremely helpful. Thanks!

TYO is the collective name for major airports in Tokyo. If you type in TYO in a fare or schedule-finder, you will be shown flights to both Narita and Haneda. Haneda's code is HND.
Same thing with Milan (MIL) and Sao Paulo (SAO). Domestically, an example is NYC, which encompasses EWR, JFK, LGA, and possibly a few others.
The name of Sao Paulo's main airport is Guarulhos (GRU).

SCL = Santiago de Chile Comodoro Arturo Merino Benitez
CCS = Caracas Simon Bolivar

My supervisor went into information overload when I handed her back the sheet with all my scribbles. LOL! Most people have no clue there can be multiple airports in one city.

IAH=George Bush Intercontinental Airport - Houston
HOU=William P. Hobby Airport (formerly Houston International Airport)
EFD=Ellington Field (formerly Ellington Air Force Base)
