| Nov 5, 2015 at 13:54 | comment | added | fkraiem | Note that what I said above about flight NH217 was just an example illustrating what is in my experience common practice. As I said, I have never encountered a flight which did not operate in such a way, but some may (and probably do) exist since, as the answer in the duplicate question says, there is no rule governing the usage of flight numbers. | |
| Nov 5, 2015 at 13:42 | comment | added | fkraiem | Yes, perhaps I should have said "it is meant to be obvious". What I meant was that whoever says or writes this expects that the reader knows what is meant even if some information is missing, although of course it may not always work, for various reasons. | |

Duplicate of What does a flight code identify? | |
| Nov 5, 2015 at 13:33 | comment | added | nsn | @fkraiem that seems obvious to someone knowing the gregorian calendar and the September 11 event. But it's not that obvious if you either use a different calendar or are not aware of the event. The common person is not aware of the codes used in aviation. I thought these were unique for a very long time. | |
| Nov 5, 2015 at 13:23 | comment | added | fkraiem | A particular flight can be identified by giving a flight number and a date. For example when you read about "flight MH370", it may be obvious (depending on context) that it is in reference to flight MH370 of March 8, 2014, in the same way that when you read about "September 11", it may obviously refer to September 11, 2001. | |
| Nov 5, 2015 at 13:20 | comment | added | fkraiem | Since the same flight number is commonly reused several times to represent the same flight at the same time in different days I have never encountered any occurrence where this was not the case. For example, currently ANA's flight NH217 goes every day from HND to MUC, and will continue to do so until ANA decides to drop this route (and then possibly reassign this number to some other route), or maybe decides to retire this number if some major incident occurs on it. | |
