We’re looking for an airport for this May 31, 2024, edition of the NYT mini crossword puzzle. The clue is an airport with a bart station. A BART station means a Bay Area Rapid Transit, so it’s a transportation system that gets you around. That’s the first part of this clue; the second part is finding the airport location. The problem is that the answer requires 3 letters only.
Where is this airport with a BART station?
The answer to this puzzle may surprise you, but let’s review the clue. The answer we’re looking for is a city but with three letters, and it needs to have a BART station. Without prolonging the agony, the answer is SFO. This isn’t actually a city name but the code to an airport.
SFO is the code to the San Francisco International Airport. It makes sense, since there is a bay in the San Francisco area. That’s where the BART station comes in, so its a very tricky clue indeed, since you need to come up with the airport code and not the city itself.
