LAX-SYD-LAX have the same flight numbers, AFAIK.

Yep. Ended not long after 9/11, I think.

Just curious; thanks.
UA 1 wasn't ORD-HNL for that long.

Meanwhile, several of the CO flight numbers were retained and still fly their original routes.
The P.S. varied. I definitely flew on UA890.

890/891 was on the LAX-JFK-LAX transcon for quite a while. I flew it on a 762.

In 2002-2003 UA 6528 was SFO-MRY, so LAX-PHX is not the "original route" for 6528.

Ah too bad, well that's all I've got to offer!
