Almost every single post office has a separate zip code (usually one higher than the city/area it is sitting in). Some individual buildings have their own zip code, or 12345 for GE, or 20252 for Smokey Bear.
My post office box has its own ZIP+4.
"One can say anything about Lublin airport, but they sure do consider IATA codes are serious business. The tone was set right from the parking lot entrance." The reason Lublin's IATA code is so prominently exposed is because the word "luz" in Polish means - among others - the state of being relaxed, chilled out. Just a bit of marketing on the city's part.
"LAX" also is short for "relax", but I don't think it's physically possible to do any such thing within LA city limits.

So, the opposite of the emotions experienced when flying and going through airports.

The disappearance of staff makes sense. I’d have thought integrated security would be far more secure since the baggage goes and stays behind the secure boundary until the conclusion of the trip vs being retrieved, checked in, retrieved, checked in, etc
My favourite modern intermodal baggage transport is in Japan. They have a small number of specialist baggage couriers called Takuhaibin (宅配便). These couriers will take your bags between any two destinations of your choice (Hotel-Hotel,Hotel-Airport etc.) for a reasonable fee. The pick-up and destination can (basically) be anything in Japan with a postal address. Its not true check-through as you still have to pick up…

I'd argue that there's a bug. while TLV would appear to imply that the airport is in Tel Aviv, it is not. :)
And they list OSL as "all airports around Oslo, Norway". That's not the case, OSL is one particular airport (the main one, Gardermoen). They correctly list the second airport as TRF.
So referring to OSL as “all airports around Oslo, Norway” is IMO a mistake on the part of the OpenBSD developers indeed. In spite of the point made by the sibling comment about ambiguity. Because the context is airports, I think OpenBSD should list OSL as “Oslo Gardermoen Airport, Norway” in their airports file.
See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Airport,_Gardermoen which says:
> Oslo Airport (Norwegian: Oslo lufthavn; IATA: OSL, ICAO: ENGM), alternatively referred to as Oslo Gardermoen Airport or simply Gardermoen

Many airports around the world have a large signboard.
Here is the complete file if you are curious: https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/share/misc/airpor... There are ~2,000 entries vs ~11,000 assigned IATA airport codes
My city has two airports which are like 50 km apart. One of them is for military only.
It shows the regular passenger airport IATA code mapped to the military airport name.
I wonder if I can correct it. I'm not a BSD developer at all.

These couriers will take your bags between any two destinations of your choice (Hotel-Hotel,Hotel-Airport etc.) for a reasonable fee We have these in America, too. They're call couriers. They'll even pick up your luggage that went to the wrong airport in a different city and bring it to you at your hotel in the right city. (Happened to me with a bicycle.) unlike, say UPS or FedEx, a Takuhaibin will take your baggage,…
I think the key is that you can skip the "pack it up" step - UPS won't ship many things that would survive shipment just fine unless they're wrapped in a box. UPS and FedEx freight or LTL (less than truckload) is another story entirely.
Indeed.
With a Takuhabin I can go pick up a freshly pressed wedding dress from a dry cleaners and hand it over just like that. It will arrive in exactly the same state it left the dry cleaners.
With UPS it would barely make it into the back of the collection driver's van before it looked like a second hand rag.
