Is a flight number unique for the schedule, origin and destination?

There is nothing anywhere to say that the airline won’t change the flight number or reuse the same flight number to connect different destinations.
Case in point: United flight 237 contains 2 different segments flown by 2 different aircraft today so in essence you can look at it as 2 different flights.
On occasion airlines change flight numbers for the same destinations due to various conditions most notable one is an accident for example Moscow – Hong Kong is now flight SU212 but it didn’t used to be and so on.
Just about the only thing that you can expect is that flight number for a regularly scheduled flight will change sufficiently enough in advance of bookings/reservations so that airline doesn’t have to notify clients of the change midstream.
