BA flight numbers that echo plane types
Just had a little chuckle to myself that my OSL-LHR flight tomorrow is BA767 (RIP).
Without looking, is there a BA 320 / 350 / 380 / 787 etc?

BA777 is ARN > LHR. BA's flight numbers are region based, so BA7xx will be Scandinavian flights, I think BA3xx are to/from France?

BA737 is GVA-LHR. Hopefully, never to be MAX’d out!

Indeed,for instance 343 (the code for the airbus 340-300) and a few more A340 varieties are all NCE.

BA747 used to be SVG-LHR, until Stavanger was suspended.

Only partly correct on the Scandinavia part - Danish destinations (CPH and BLL) are in the early BA800s.

On topic, BA319 (CDG-LHR) is sometimes operated by an A319

orangeJet did have flight 1520, that departed 15.20 and was operated by A320. Cyprus airways also had flight 330, that left about 3.30 and was operated by A330.

Miles off topic but, years ago around the mid-70s, there was a BA flight number 888 on the route down to SYD or MEL that was known locally as the BA late, late, late.
