Fun With Flight Numbers
Have you ever noticed how the airlines make their flight numbers "fit" the places they are flying to? Here are some examples:
Northwest
---------
Flight 777 MSP -> LAS. (Like 3 sevens on the slot machine payline)
Flight 711 MSP -> LAS. (7 and 11 are pass line winners at the Las Vegas craps table)
Flight 1776 DTW -> PHL. (Philly, of course, where the declaration of independence was signed in 1776.
United
------
Flight 711 ORD -> LAS. (same as NW)
Flight 1776 ORD -> PHL. (same as NW)
Flight 1492 DEN -> CMH (Columbus). Of course, 1492, the year that Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Anybody know of any others?

Please continue to follow this thread in "Airlines, Hotels, Car Rentals", rather than "MilesBuzz". BTW, a search of the archives will reveal a fairly long and interesting thread on this subject a while back.
