"This isn't exactly how zipcodes work."
Actually it's my fault for not stating exactly how I want to use zipcode in relation to airport. I'm working a project that requires calculation of distance from airport dropoff (cab dropoff and passenger dropoff should not be too far off except real large airport) to a destination. But this is ball-park estimate, no mil precision required. Using zipcode for city of the airport won't do. Thanks.
