Sometimes I'm tempted to do a PA like "Ladies and Getlemen, welcome to Air France flight 8766, service to Huntsville..." just to see if anyone notices.

We used a similar system.
Normal flight number 071.
If added 9 and a second digit 0 through 9 depending on the reason for the second fight on the same day.
A maintenance ferry would be 9271 if the aircraft operating the 071 flight needed to ferry to a maintenance station. (The V.P. had better not see many of these!)

Another question about the code share part is how do they select which flights to code share on?
As for the added latter, it should be noted that airlines handle that differently. Some airlines indeed add a letter when they would have 2 planes with the same flight number in the air, whereas others, like DL for example, usually add 1-2 digits in fron of the actual flight number, say, DL9870 instead of DL70, making use of numbers they are keeping free for equipment subs, moving planes between hubs, charters and test flights.

Most of the DL flights I saw at ATL (we flew AA, so me and my dad only ventured as far as concourse A) had a code share with NW.

Codeshares: Essentially, this means that airline A will sell seats on Airline B's flights. They will say that Airline A Flight XXXX (usually the flight numbers are high for the non-operating airline) operated by Airline B. You fly on B metal and check in with B. You can earn miles for Airline A, although the level will vary depending on the airlines involved. Sometimes you will connect between the two airlines. The advantage of this is that it allows you to fly on two airlines with a single ticket.
Alpha-numeric flight numbers: This is done if there is a chance that two flights will be operating with the same flight number at hte same time. For example, COA90 flies ATL-EWR on a 737, and than continues to TLV on a 777. If the ATL leg was delayed and was to arrive after the TLV departure, they could make the TLV flight COA90A

Couple of questions
I've had a question in my mind now since my ATL-DFW flight on December 30 and one more just came up so I figure I'll just ask them now.
First off: code sharing. I saw plenty of DL flights in ATL that had NW code shares on it. How does that work exactly?
Second: I saw a flight with a letter on the end.
For example: http://flightaware.com/live/flight/FLG612A
I've also seen that on various flights to/from and within Europe. What exactly is that?Tags: None
