Sorry MIss, as I said I was being picky.
As a very general guide :
Qf1-399 International 747, 67, 37
Qf400-800 domestic 67,37 and maybe 747
The dash I think may just be in four figures. (2000 etc)
As you can see there are a quite a few different types with different speeds etc, even operating the same sort of flight numbers.
Still blue sky and lovely up there?

Just to add my 2c worth.
In NZ, all Air NZ flights are numbered NZxxxx, from 1 to 4 digits.
Callsigns however are based on the operator within the group. eg Flights operated by Eagle air are Eagle + last 3 numbers of flight number "Eagle 234" The use of Eagle infers that it is a B1900D with an exception for the moment of the last remain Metro and Bandit/s.
"Link 424" is a Air Nelson callsign and infers Saab 340 or Metro for the time being
"Cook 077" is a Mt Cook callsign with the ATR72
"New Zealand" is the callsign for the main company aircraft. Domestic flights are always 3 digits and international usually 1/2 digits
"NZ463" infers a B737 and "NZ1" B747 or B767
The flight numbers refer to operator & routes being flown
ie NZ2000 series flights are Eagle flights, NZ2800 series are Eagle flights betwen Auckland & Whangarei, NZ2700 being Auckland - Tauranga Flights
NZ8000 series are Air Nelson's & NZ5000 are Mt Cooks.
Any disruptions / delays / extra flights are issued as Operator number +900 series ie NZ2900 might be a Eagle position flight due maintenance
With a system in place and time for folk to pick it up, FNC's can be informative without saying to much. ATCO's must know the civil register pretty well to prefer rego callsign's.
