Another major fire at FCO (and now even a power black out)

I'm glad my arrival/departure is MXP ...

Where is FCO?

Rome's main airport. FiumiCinO

Marco, Thanks. I don't use initialisms and very rarely remember them.

FCO is now fully operational according to a news report: http://www.euronews.com/2015/07/29/flights-from-rome-airport-suspended-due-to-brush-fire-nearby-fiumicino/

Monte, all airports have a 3-letter designator, very common usage.

Monte, furthermore, NYC allows you to search JFK, EWR, LGA all at the same time. This is not some trendy high-school Text Message slang. It's the airline business since World War II. Welcome to 2015.

Your boarding pass will show the 3-letter designation specific to the airport. Fiumicino is also a town.

Monte, it's the Italy Forum, so FCO is in Italy. Another fire - well, the only recent major one was in Rome. Two big clues.

Your sleuthing powers are waning . . .

what is "1K"?

1 K means 1,000. 20 K would be 20,000 Same with 20 grand or 20,000 Usually...always (?) refers to $

"JiminVA - I'm glad my arrival/departure is MXP ... "

How are you getting from VA to MXP and back? Airport(s)? Airline(s)? Thanks!

Denny,

I think Nigel was being a bit facetious. I'm sure he knows what "1K" refers to.

It's a bit upsetting to hear that the suspected cause was arson. We've had a number of "human caused" fires (intentional or careless) here in the last few months that have caused a lot of damage. Unfortunately, not likely that the culprits will ever be apprehended.

George,

Reagan National to JFK to Milan returning in reverse order - American Airlines both ways

And if you see "ACK" on a car decal in the U.S., it does not mean the driver's had a frustrating day. ;)

I wondered as much, but someone kindly explained to me what UI meant recently so I thought I would return a favor just in case. I still get 2 karma points.

My, oh, my!
I feel bad for all those travelers whose flights were canceled...
