An Irish Airline Renumbers a Flight in Dolly Parton's Honor

Starting Oct. 25, Aer Lingus will change the flight number on its Dublin-to-Nashville route as a tribute to Dolly Parton. It is a small gesture, a string of digits rather than a statue or a street name, but it puts an international carrier's daily paperwork in service of a Nashville icon. For a city that measures its worth in songwriting credits rather than skylines, having an airline rewrite its own schedule for one of its own tracks about right.
