Unless you put it somewhere in your program (or if it's standardized, use a library/service), how do you expect python to know that whatever a "Ryanair" is means whatever meaning you attach to "6"?  To python, they're just unrelated strings/numbers.

Ok, but those numbers are meaningless.  Unless you create a dictionary that maps all of those things to whatever number they represent, that is.

items = {
    "Ryanair": 6,
    "AAL": 11
}

thing = input("Check which? ")
if thing in items:
    print(items[thing])
else:
    print("Invalid input")

How's that?  It's just a map of keys to the number they associate to, and prints it when someone types in the key.
