I start training on the 10th, and I'm suppose to know over 200 airport/city codes by then. If any ones had this training please give me some tips to remembering all of these codes. Thanks!

Make it a game. Do you have kids or friends who can help?
Write the list of codes on 200 flash cards with the correct answer on the back. (Index cards come in handy for this.) First play the game with the code side up, then play it with the city-airline names showing.
You could also come up with funny names for the codes: BOS could be Beantown's Outrageous Sports.
In other words, stop making this about WORK and begin to have FUN with it. Back when I was in college, a photography teacher taught us how to play games like this. Nearly forty years later, I can still count to five in Japanese because he told us the words sounded like, "Itchy knee in sand, she goes."

Airline City Codes

I don't work in the airline industry, but I know quite a few codes simply because I have a good memory. Usually when I see the code once, I remember it. I've often surprised travel agents who still had to look the codes up in a book, by telling them the code they were looking for. Some of them are easy to remember, ie. Calgary - YYC (c for Calgary).

Sounds like you are going to train to become a flight attendant. Just like the other responders said, try to associate each code with the city in which the airport is located. Some are coded after the airport name, like SDF for Standiford Field in Louisville. TYS is Tyson field in Knoxville. I'm sure your airline gave you a specific list of the places they operate. If you have CHS and CRW, they are Charleston, SC and Charleston, WV. Think of them as Charlie South and Charley West.
Good luck.

It's sort of like learning the states and their capitals in school. You need to make up a way to assossicate each city with it's code. Do them in sets of 10, don't think of it as 200.

From a traveler's point of view, I have noticed that city codes tend to be somewhat similar to the actual names of the cities. Find the commonality among the names/codes and start there. Practice all the time, each spare moment you have. Make up flash cards with the names on one side and abbreviations on the other. Have people drill you until the 10th.

Put the Cities in alphabetical order on a piece(s) of paper and right next to them the codes.
Revise thoroughly and revise them in different orders by writing down on a seperate piece of paper- writing things down more than once sperately/ over time will allow the brain to remember a lot better, then keep going over them. Dont over do it but dont slack it off either.

You will pick them up over time, but you aren't going to know all 200 in four days. It helps to know where the code came from; ORD, for example, is for an airport once called Orchard.

you were a kid once. if u went to school you should know some effecent ways to do this. think about when u were a kis and how u memorized your multiplycation tables. get them stuck in ur head. u could put them on cards and memorize them like that. u could make a c.d. of u saying them and in the back ground put music or something and listen to it ALOT. hope this helps. :")
