It's the (IATA) aviation industry's 3 letter Beacon Codes that all aircraft use as identifiers with their avionics onboard.

Even old dogs can learn new tricks.

No I have, its on the boarding pass...
Mostly its about escorts on twitter saying Ill be in YVR. Okay, thats an airport..... Then you have to realize its the city they mean..... Then what if they are really not in Vancouver but in Burnaby or North Vancouver etc.....Greater Vancouver is a big place.
Be specific.

You are right. It's not correct to use YVR as a city name. Your post would not fit into a twit though, you'd have to shorten it. Reasonable compromise. Not the biggest red flag I saw on twitter.
