United 1776 is still Houston to Philadelphia (AA's 1776 is Boston to Philadelphia but I digress even more...)

Also CO flight from Houston to Indianapolis was 500 and IIRC also Continental's old #1 was Houston-Honolulu-Guam.

Usually no flight 13 in the USA, and no more 666. Also certain flight numbers get retired such as United 93. Normally east bound are even and west odd right?
