Matthew From my days back in London, I remember AC856 as a daily return to London, but even in the 70s, BA9 and BA11 daily flights from LON to Oz. Many others come to mind, but most of those airlines have disappeared now. AC856/857 go back at least to the 70s for sure. I think that most airlines have long-standing flt numbers that do operate over a long spate of time (like dailys). dl At 10:01 AM 10/29/2003, you wrote: >As I boarded AC149, the 7:30pm departure from YYZ-YVR tonight, I >thought that 149 has been the flight # for a good long time, maybe over >10 years. > >Similarly, AC has run 965 from YYZ to POS for most of my life.
