Not a big sample, but when I flew LAX-SFO, I understood that the plane had just come from SFO and was set to return to LAX after our segment. I looked up all of today's flight numbers on that route on FlightAware; on all but one of them, that was the only segment with that flight number. On the 10-day display for the flight number, a cancellation often appears. It's a way of handling things involving airports that are subject to delay.
