# Wikipedia Airports Use Wikipedia as a **route discovery and sanity-check source** for airport destinations. This is especially useful when: - an airport page has an **Airlines and destinations** section - an airline's own city-pair marketing pages confirm service patterns - flight search tools disagree about whether a route exists Wikipedia is **not a booking source** and not a real-time schedule source. Use it to discover likely routes, then confirm them with airline or fare tools. ## Best Use Cases - "What destinations does SAN serve?" - "Does Southwest fly SAN -> EUG?" - "What airports can I use for a late split return?" - "Which airline serves this small airport nonstop?" ## Workflow ### 1. Resolve the airport page from an IATA code Use Wikipedia search with the airport code plus the word `airport`. ```bash curl -s "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=search&srsearch=SAN+airport&format=json" \ | jq '.query.search[0:5][] | {title}' ``` Usually the first result is the airport page, e.g. `San Diego International Airport`. ### 2. Fetch the page Use the readable page HTML or the wikitext parse API. ```bash curl -s "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&p
- Best Use Cases
- Workflow
- 1. Resolve the airport page from an IATA code
- 2. Fetch the page
- 3. Look for route sections
- 4. Treat airline city-pair pages as a second source
- 5. Then confirm with fare tools
- Decision Rules
- Use Wikipedia to answer:
- Do NOT use Wikipedia to answer:
- Example: SAN and Southwest to EUG
- Useful Patterns
- Airport page lookup by IATA code
- Pull likely destination section lines

Discover destinations served from any airport via Wikipedia. Sanity-check whether an airline flies a specific route, find regional service that fare tools miss, identify late-split-return airport options.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add borski/travel-hacking-toolkit --skill wikipedia-airports --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From borski/travel-hacking-toolkit, a repository with 611 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
