Craig 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Maybe it's the OCD in me, but how do MH assign its flight numbers? Do they just throw darts on the board and see where it lands on? I saw in the other thread that BKI-HKG flights were increased from 7 to 9 weekly flights and the new flight numbers are MH 426/427, i.e. for Malaysia-HKG flights, you have MH 72, 78, 384, 426. I know the general assigned international routes/flights numbers are as below: MH 1-49: Europe MH 50 - 99: North-East Asia and USA excluding China MH 120-149: Australia MH 150 - 199: South Asia and Middle East MH 2xx: Unused, but used to be Africa / South America MH 350 - 399: China MH 4xx: Newly assigned flight numbers MH 5xx: Unused MH 600 - 650: Singapore MH 700 - 899: SE Asia excluding Singapore And then you have a lot of oddities (when there are a lot of unused numbers within the range), e.g.: MH 104: KUL-BLR MH 68: BKI-TPE (while KUL-TPE is MH 366 and 408). Most MH 50-99 range are ex-KUL. MH 850-865: KUL-DPS/MES - All other Indonesian flights are in the MH 7xx series. KUL-DPS is MH 715, 851, 853!

Craig 0 Report post Posted October 13, 2012 If I have confused anyone, I am sorry, but my point is MH should somehow streamline its international flight numbers and not have random flight numbers showing up everywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S V Choong 4 Report post Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) A few years back MH60 / 61 was assigned to BKI-HKG / HKG-BKI respectively. It has since been replaced by MH382/383 and MH384/385 with new times. Edited October 13, 2012 by S V Choong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is because those BKI to HKG, TPE et al all originated from KUL and terminated there on reverse flight Those 382/383 and 384/385 flights now originate/terminate at KCH instead I'm guessing that could be the reason why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again, it shows.. The East are pretty secondary when in terms of importance. Flight numbers are pretty interesting, in a way it sort of demonstrates the mentality behind the management and history of the airlines. Interestingly, SQ1/2 seems to be a scheduled SFO-HKG-SIN vv. operated by 77W TG has no scheduled TG1/2 for now by years ago I remembered it was a domestic flight between BKK and Chiangmai? CX1 was used occassionally for flights from DXB-MAN and HKG-DEL-FRA (Cargo flight) QF1, a scheduled flight between SYD-SIN-LHR operated by 388 NZ1, a scheduled flight: AKL-LAX-LHR operated by 77W BA1, a scheduled flight: London (LHR?)- SNN-JFK operated by JL1, a scheduled flight: HND - SFO operated by 772 NH1, a scheduled flight: NRT - IAD operated by 77W KE1, a scheduled flight: ICN - LAX operated by 332/333 VN1, a scheduled flight: SGN - DLI (Dalat) LH1, a scheduled flight: HAM - FRA, operated by 321 AF, BI, CA, CZ, CI, KL and MU do not seemed to have assigned their no. 1 flight numbers to any routes.

And their passengers get US immigration per-clearance at SNN. The return journey however, is a nonstop one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
