Do flight numbers change daily?

Why do some flights have the same flight number?
Airlines could use the same flight number for different destinations. This is particularly true in case of “hop flights”. The flight from city A to city B has an intermediate stop at city C. The routes A->B, A->C, C->B could all have the same flight number.
How do I find a flight number?

Can an airline move your flight up?

Can two flights have the same flight number on the same day?
Airlines can schedule multiple flights with the same flight number on the same day (sometimes on the same route and sometimes on different flight segments). This varies by carrier.

A PNR code is unique to your journey.
