I found it difficult to read out the airline booking reference which contained six letters and numbers.
My friend suggested that I should use the NATO phonetic alphabet. I Googled and found the following:
The 26 code words in the NATO phonetic alphabet are assigned to the 26 letters of the English alphabet in alphabetical order as follows: Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.
I will try to use it in the future. Maybe, if this is commonly used, the character based booking reference becomes quite workable.

You can try using countries and cities to represent the alphabets. It works fairly well too.
Yes it's used internationally by all militaries, pilots & air control.
This is exactly what our Police NS men have been using since the 1970s.
This is exactly the same code we used in the early seventies as NS Police.
