Abbas Rajabpour s there any specific rule to know whether we should use " in or at" for a place? It's so baffling for a non-native learner. Nothing is absolute, but the general guideline that I teach my students is conceptual: If the context or writer conceives of the place as a point (1-dimensional) location, as if viewed from afar in contradistinction to other points, then use AT: We arrive at Los Angeles on Quantas flight 685.
