It would be great if the API automatically recognized airport codes in queries, especially when specifying "types=airport".

Currently, doing a query such as
...place/textsearch/json?types=airport&query=ORD&key=...
returns zero results.

In order to get the place record I had to include the word "airport" in my query:
...place/textsearch/json?types=airport&query=ORD+airport&key=...
This is of course redundant, because I've already specified types=airport.
