Usually, IATA sounds more to the city name hence why I prefer it but ICAO’s are a bit easier to remember.
MCU (Macau), HKG (Hong Kong), ASE (Aspen) are a few I know off the top of my head.

Not really. When they see ‘E’ they will know it’s North/Northwest Europe, G for Great Britain/UK, and London for the last two letters.
For example CDG, if I’ve never seen the code before, I’d have no idea where the airport is. But if it was LFPG, I’d know straight away it was a French airport right away for the above reason.

LLBG seems very much like it.
Ben Gurion Airport - LLBG.
LL for Israel, they’d know right away because of the region prefixes.

Ok bet, go ask a random stranger where LLBG and LFPG are and report your findings. They will have no clue
