thanks for all the responses!
It just seems that most airlines I fly seem to make sense.
Also, my understanding was 'X' meant international - such as LAX, BHX...
I'm flying SYD-SIN-LHR (no DXB for me!)

QF seems right for Qantas. When an announcement is made in a terminal for "all passengers please go to gate to board Qantas Flight 1", it seems fair to call Qantas Flight 1 QF1.
Hence QF seems a fair code to use for Qantas.

Aaah, but the "H" in MH means "Hospitality" 
Another example for both of these, a couple of years ago I flew YM out of TGD. It wasn't my first flight on YM, I had a few flights on YM many years earlier around 1990/1. (YM= Montenegro Airlines now and many years ago it was Compass a long since dead airline in Australia). TGD is Podgorica, Montenegro, which used to be called Titograd.
