flight code

Airline journey designation

A flight code is the alphanumeric identifier assigned to a scheduled airline flight, combining an airline designator with a number: UA 227, BA 117.

The same code applies to that route daily, so "the 8:15 flight to Chicago" and "flight AA 1247" refer to the same recurring service.

Flight codes appear on tickets, departure boards, and tracking systems.
