Apparently the software hadn't heard of the code "LON", which means,
as far as I know, "any London airport". I believe it's an official
IATA code. Similarly for other useful codes such as "NYC" (which
presumably expands into something like qw/JFK LGA EWR/ or the like).

Hateful software that doesn't provide at least this level of convenience.
