When Flights Had Names
Posted 28/12/2011
Today, flight numbers are often four digits. Earlier in the industry's history, lower numbers were used, and even single digits were not uncommon. Most airlines referred to them as "flights", although Braniff, for one, used the alternative term "trip". And in the piston era, it also was not unusual for at least some flights in a carrier's timetable to also carry a name.
