Qantas flight QF1 is the Sydney to London daily service.
Some airlines use the flight 1 as their premiere route. I remember with Pan Am that PA1 and PA2 were the east and west routed around the world services.
I know that the United flight numbers on the Pacific to Australia were the old Pan Am flight numbers, not sure if they are still though.
Not sure about what flight numbers are based on - it's different per airline.
Qantas flights 1-399 are the International flights. Flights 400 to 1599 are the domestic flights. I believe 1600 and above are regional flights.

This has been discussed before; there is probably a pretty comprehensive list that has been put together on the forum or you can search on flight trackers to find all of the #1 flights. What Trent said is right. Some other's that I know of are:
US Airways - PIT-LAX
American - JFK - LAX
Southwest - HOU - DAL (or the other way around)
British Airways and Air France were the JFK Concorde flights.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH 001 is the London Heathrow - Kuala Lumpur daily service. Another daily London service is MH 003 while MH 007 is 4 times weekly and go via Penang (2x) and Langkawi (2x) before arriving in Kuala Lumpur. All served on 747-400s.

This has been covered many times, and, I am not telling you this because (as some people might say) you need to do a search and stop asking already-asked questions, but rather because there was a lot of information and historical background in them.
Virgin's 001 is VS001 LHR-EWR 744 and VS002 is EWR-LHR. I will add that, originally, VS001 was LGW-EWR.

Swissair's SR1 used to be on the ZRH-VIE sector and later on, if not mistaken on the ZRH-GVA (or was it Swiss?)
SriLankan Airlines doesn't have a UL1, nor does Air Nauru, Lao Airlines, Air Koryo, Air India, Berjaya Air, Royal Brunei, Air Namibia, South African Airways, Finnair and others.

QF 1 is towards LHR not from.
Both QF & NZ use odd numbers west bound, even numbers east bound, so QF1 is westboud to LHR, NZ1 is westbound from LHR.
Unless, of course, NZ switches its LHR service to run via HKG!!!
