Just thought I'd compile a list to see which airports have got the most flight number 1s to/from that airport - this is usually the "premium" route for that airline. I'm only counting airlines that fly intercontinental to narrow it down somewhat. Odd that many airlines don't have a #1.
AA 1 JFK-LAX
CO 1 IAH-HNL
NW 1 LAX-NRT
US 1 PHL-LAX
UA 1 ORL-HNL
AMX 1 MEX-MAD
AC 1 NRT-YYZ
AF 1 CDG-JFK (former)
NZ 1 AUK-LHR
BA 1 LHR-JFK (former)
BD 1 GLA-LHR
LY 1 Tel Aviv - JFK
EK 1 DXB-LHR
JAL 1 SFO-NRT
Korean 1 NRT-LAX
MH 1 LHR-KUL
QF 1 SYD-LHR
Singapore 1 SFO-SIN
TK 1 IST-JFK
VS 1 LHR-EWR
1st LHR (6)
2nd JFK (5)
=3rd LAX (4)
=3rd NRT (4)
Please feel free to add/correct routes, subject to the conditions above.

Question:
What became of PA001 - Panam's round-the-world Clipper? Did UA or DL take over the route? Did it fly both inbound and outbound as PA001?

Quoting Crox1 (Reply 11): I was under the impression that #1 was the highest volume, highest revenue flight, can this be applied to LH001?
Maybe because it is connecting 2 very big cities in Germany. I know jetBlue Flt # 1 is BUF-JFK-FLL and that is there big routes (JFK-FLL is the real money maker and BUF-JFK is another big money maker). So #1 is normally highest volume and revenue but it can also mean for newer airlines, the first route they started.
