    The next airport not only changed its name, it even changed the IATA code.

        Not O'Hare. It always had the IATA code named after the original name "Orchard Depot Field".

          A wild guess: "John F. Kennedy International Airport" was not the first name of this airport. It used to be "Idlewild Airport" and then "New York International Airport " if I'm not mistaken. Also, the IATA code for sure was not JFK, when it was Idlewild Airport.

          Correct?

            That's correct. The original IATA code was IDL.

                  • Judging from the license plate on the Peugeot it's either France or Poland. I don't think it's Germany as the O is slightly different. I think the O has a umlaut (Ö) so I am going for Poland for now? The fact the taxis in the background are Opels instead of Peugeots also helps.

                      that's what I'm working on as well. The Euro symbol on the licence plate seems to hav a P on it.

                      ....but where ??

                      • Licence plate is PO, which stands for a region in a european country. So far so good.

                        Next hint: it's a regional airport, served mainly by local airlines and two low-costs. It has some international flights.

                          • Santiago is correct, eventhough it is not in the province of Pontevedra but La Coruņa. Pontevedra is one of the four galician provinces, SCQ is the main airport of that region. Well done!

                            Next tip would have been: some people prefer to go walking to this city ... Road to Santiago aka way of St. James.
