Hi!
I am trying to get information about a Flight for a Air Berlin Flight with the Flight No AB8042.
When I do a FlightInfoEx call no information is returned.
However If i search for BER8042 the Flight is found.
How can I find out that instead of AB8042 I have to the use BER8042
Any help welcomed!

Hi Raphael,
AB is the IATA code for Air Berlin.
BER is the ICAO identifier.
The FlightXML API calls that require identifiers for airlines or airports generally expect ICAO codes as IATA is sometimes shared and thus ambiguous.
Hi!
Thx a lot, I got a list of IATA codes and just replace them with the ICAO codes if I don’t get reply in the first time!

Rafael,
You should not make any calls with IATA codes. I really suggest you use ICAO the first time and all the times.
