How they announce a flight at the airport?

Question

I want to know how they announce a flight at the airport, for example:

Lufthansa Flug 375

Do they announce the flight number like normal numbers or digit by digit?

International flights will always be announced in English too. — Takkat, Commented Oct 1, 2011 at 20:25
@Takkat: I see, but I wanted to understand the German version. — user508, Commented Oct 1, 2011 at 20:52

completely off-topic: Lufthansa flight 357 is actually a train (search for "LH 357") — Jan, Commented Oct 17, 2011 at 13:06

There is no fixed rule for this. I've heard all possible versions:

None of these seems to be "right" or "wrong" and you'll find them all.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think flight numbers are normally announced digit by digit.

There are some examples on this site: http://www.light2art.de/mp3-Flughafen-Ansagen.html (listen to "Köln: letzter Aufruf nach Palma de Mallorca")
