Occasionally the airline operator flight numbers are easy to understand; SA=South African; AI= Air India; LH=Lufthansa yet some are curious. AY=Finnair; LX=Swiss etc. Most are historical TE=Air New Zealand (TEAL);. We are all aware of QF = Qantas BUT what were the 2 letters for Qantas that preceded QF ...? (I guess not even Alan Joyce knows the answer..)
EM, before my time! Qantas Empire Airways Congratulations Greg. I was a travel agent back in those days, hand writing tickets. No charges if the passenger changed a flight of date, we just stayed back at the office writing them all over again.
