I can imagine in the future a super travel search engine, which will
know where your local airport is and thread through holiday deals with
flights going from your locality.
For that you'd need to mark up more than just airport codes. You'd
need to know whether the flight was *from* the airport or *to* the
airport. You'd probably want to know the price, the date and time,
perhaps the airline, and the contact details for buying a ticket.
Basically you'd need a microformat for marking up a transport ticket
that is for sale. The existing hListing microformat will get you half
way there - you'd just need to add some transport-specific properties.
I wouldn't restrict it to airports if I were you - journeys by sea,
road and rail should be easy to cover too. UN/LOCODE provides a good
place to start with for standardised alphanumeric location codes.
I'm thinking of marking up ABTA and ATOL logos with some kind of mF,
perhaps in the alt text of a logo, accessibility wise you'd need to
put the ABTA number from the logo into the alt text something because
of the text being in the image like < img src="logos/abta.png"
class="accreditation abta" alt="v4563" />
You should start with hCard and see if it is sufficient for your
needs. Only if there's something useful that you can't do with hCard
should you consider extending it.
<div class="vcard">
<span class="fn org">My Travel Agency</span>
<img class="note" src="logos/abta.png" alt="ABTA accreditation v4563.">
</div>
