Type of Search

 

Item ID

ID you would like to use in the search.

Item Name

This is a reverse lookup feature which gives you the ability to enter the text associated with an item instead of a specific item ID. For example, "PHL" is the airport ID for "Philadelphia". By entering "phila" in the Item name box, Look up will pop-up a selection list with all airports in which "phila" is included in the name. This text can appear anywhere in the item name. Item name text search makes use of a wildcard feature that allows you to enter any portion or subset of the whole name into the Item name box and Look up will provide a list of identifiers that include the search criteria entered. Select the desired airport and Look up will return the detailed information associated with the selected airport.

 

Entry Field
