> 'U2 350 A'
// With zero-padded flight number
FlightDesignator.format( 'u2350A', true, true )
> 'U2 0350 A'

var flight = new FlightDesignator( 'LH', 254, 'X' )
// Compact
flight.toString()
> 'LH254X'
// With spaces
flight.toString( true )
> 'LH 254 X'
// With zero-padded flight number
flight.toString( true, true )
> 'LH 0254 X'
