Return flights between destinations are often assigned a number that is one higher\/lower than the outbound flight. So, if you were flying roundtrip from Philadelphia to St. Maarten, U.S. Air flight 1209 would take you down to the Caribbean (southbound) and flight 1208 would bring you back to the States (northbound).<\/p>\n<p>In general, the lower the number, the more \u201cprestigious\u201d the flight route is for that particular airline. One or two-digit numbers are typically assigned to popular routes\u2014usually of the long-distance variety\u2014such as United Flight 44 from Newark to London.
