Hello all,

I'm really newbee in geonames so maybe my question is really easy, but can't find a way to do it.

I'm trying to associate every AirportCode (like LAX for exemple) with a City (in this case, Los Angeles).
Is there a way to do this ?

Thanks,

Just perform 2 webservices calls :

1/ retrieve lat and lng of the airport :
http://ws.geonames.org/search?featureCode=AIRP&name_equals=LAX

2/ retrieve nearby places using lat and lng :
http://ws.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceName?lat=33.9425129&lng=-118.4089655&style=full&radius=30&maxRows=99

You may adjust radius,
and filter result by population to get the biggest city.
