{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:**

* Your values will differ from those in the sample code. Your response will have different `locations`.
* A location is identified by a combination of the following characters:
* A **two-character** value in `Id` represents a country (example: `de`)
* A **three-character** value in `Id` represents a city. The `locationId` is typically based on the IATA code of the city's airport (example: `fra`).
