Creative Flight Numbers
 

In IAH the other day I laughed out loud when I saw CO1492 IAH-CMH (Columbus). :)
Any other creative CO numbers come to mind?

Here's a couple....

CO 1776 IAH-PHL
UA 500 ORD-IND
NW 777 MSP-LAS

Here are some there should be
 

1040 TAX

2001 ASO

There have got to be funnier people than me on this board!

Hmmm... NW 1776 is DTW-PHL. I wonder if there's a pattern here?

NW 711 -- also MSP-LAS

Went to a comedy club in L.A. last night. This doesn't fit "tight" within this thread topic, but it is cute, so indulge me.....
The comic said:
If L.A.'s airport is "LAX", then is Tampa's airport known as "TAMPAX?"

in on the joke, not!
 

okay, for all your international brethren, why are the afore-going numbers so special? mind that there's a fair number of us not from US shores! having said that i got the columbus one!! (even if it was the vikings that found it first some 500 years earlier,but that's another thread....!!! :) )

CO 1776 IAH-PHL-1776 is the year the US declared independence from the Uk, PHL was the city in which it was signed and the home to "Independence Hall" as well as the Liberty Bell.
UA 500 ORD-IND- The Indy 500 is a popular auto race.
NW 777 MSP-LAS - 777 is a lucky number, and jackpot on a slot machine.

For the suggested numbers
1040 TAX -1040's are Tax forms
2001 ASO -2001 A Space Odessy is a movie
I personaly don't get 711 LAS

7 or 11 when thrown on the first roll of the dice in craps is a winner. LAS is Las Vegas.

CO 500 is IAH-IND as well.

Maybe the special flight numbers are incentive for Continental to keep mainline in these markets... COEX 2366 just doesn't have the same ring as "Now boarding Continental 1492 to Columbus"!

Twa 777
 

TWA used to have a flight 777 from JFK to LAS.

There are many more discussed to death in the buzz years ago. My favorite CO themed flight is
CO 40 EWR-FCO

Somebody's going to have to explain that one to me. :confused:

Seems like a number of airlines have the 1776 thing going,
including WN: Flight 1776 PVD-PHL



[QUOTE=channa]Here's a couple....

CO 1776 IAH-PHL

Anyone have a flight 50 going to Hawaii??
