Electronic Versions

I'm a new commuter looking for a good source for scheduling. Any help would be appriciated.

Many airlines produce electronic schedules/timetables in a multitude of formats for compters and PDA's alike. I know Jetblue and Delta have them and I am sure most of the other big carriers have followed suit. In Jetblue's case, they have formats for PC/Laptop, PDA's in PocketPC and Palm versions, and also a .PDF version that you could print out if you want. And, most of these electronic ones have automatic updating via the Internet. A lot of the airlines have ditched the old style paper booklet time tables.

Go to the airline's home web pages and you should find what you want. For the Jetblue one, there is a link on our homepage, www.jetblue.com .

And remember, Jetblue has unlimited jumpseats (156 pax seat + 2 cabin jumpseats) if we fly where you need to go and you are always welcome, (I am assuming your work for a FAR121 carrier) but the bad news is that our flights fill up fast. Just go to the ticket counter and get listed and they will give you a blank boarding pass to get through security. If you can get past security without a pass, then just go to the gate directly.

C yaaa and happy commuting.

You should figure out rather quickly who flies in between the two destinations nonstop....

it gets tricky when you start planning for plan b, c, d, e in your commuting nightmare scenarios...

all those websites may be good...

but i think there is no substitute for the airline's timetable...
the problem is keeping them all up to date...

also... with some of those websites like travelocity and orbitz..
not all airlines participate in them... such as jetblue and southwest...

so...

spend some time on all the websites... have backup connections/options already planned.... know what carriers take multiple jumpseaters and also consider satellite airports....such as driving to a different departure point or arriving at a different airport and taking a train or rental car.....

commuting... what a joy...
but with the CASS system in operation (??), maybe things will get a tiny bit easier....

Skyguide

Skyguide magazine has been great for my years of commuting. Check it out at skyguide.net. The monthly "magazine" is small and easy to carry all the time (not a full sized mag). They also have a PDA version for free when you sign up for the subscription which is almost as useful. I think the year long sub is around $55 or $60......

Has interline connections too.

Ex. LAX to ORD on UA, then ORD to PVD on AA.

No disrespect to AQ Pilot but don't spend a dime yet. There is enough free info out there. It just takes a little time to figure out which source works best for you.

Buy a yearly subscription to Skyguide and carry it with you. About $65 a year--I believe--but worth it. It is cheaper than the OAG.

I second Skyguide.. small cheap and free PDA software. Most companies have thier schedules for a PDA too. Skyguide is $55 for the year.. OAG is about $100 for the year and PDA is extra.

With a computer or wirless...

http://www.passrider.com/

is yet another good site.. will find connections most others will not

You will learn quickly all of your options and which ones work and which one are the true plan B, C, D and so on...

I've been using nothing more that the airport timetables that the airport authorities put out for my domicile airport and "home plate". For the most part they have worked out fairly well in helping me in my travels back and forth. A little advice. Give yourself plenty of back up .....ie. don't wait for the "last stage out of Dodge!". Also if it's a multi-leg commute,and one of the legs require an off-line commute like mine, try to hook up with your own airline as soon as possible. Helps keep the anxiety down. Best of luck

Good replies

As mentioned, many airports have schedules available for all flight in and out of the airport. They even have them on line. Try a Google search. Example, "BWI airport" will lead you to the guide for BWI, etc.

Good luck,

Jeff
