I can't remember if Widget Works gets you everything you need, but definitely easy bid... and easy swap works great too if you actively manage your schedule.. I used to have widget works, but I just use those other 2 now.

Hope this helps.

A guy definitely gets some groovy 80's flashbacks with Terminal Emulation.

Does anyone work there? No one answers the phone

Commuter help-- looking up future flight schedules for all airlines.
I used to use eskyguide.com which was great because they were very accurate. They just closed the doors of that website it seems.

I need a good website that just provides airline schedule info for all airlines between city pairs, so I can look at least 1.8 mo out and plan my commutes, figure out what my earliest report each day is, etc.
--I don't want a "ticket buying" website with price comparisons etc., just the schedules.
-- would like to be able to filter for non-stop flights, show all flights on one page vs. clicking to 2nd page, and most important... be accurate.

I'm on Quicktrip.com now, who are just OK. They make you click to 2nd page which makes end of day lookups a pain; and in the past I found they weren't super accurate, especially on the critical days where sched changes oddly like Thanksgiving.
OAG.com used to be good, now they want $700 a year or somesuch.
FlightTrack doesn't give sched info for beyond 3 or 4 days.

Anyone have something they use that works well?
Thanks!

f10a-- thanks much for the info, unfortunately none of those sites work for me due to not supplying SWA or USAir info... that's the problem with using ticket sales sites, they never show SWA--only the flight schedule info type of site does it. Still looking, but again thanks for the leads!

good, but doesn't include SWA as it's a "sales site" not just schedules, and SWA rules out of PHX, so 50% of flights don't show ;(

Cheap Flights - Compare Airline Tickets with Skyscanner.com

same as above, but this one doesn't show USAir either, so SWA/USA missing 70% of flights for me.

FlightStats | Flight Airline Seat Availability

this one looks interesting, but I can't get it to actually display any flights--it just returns 0 results no matter what city pairs or day I put into it's flight schedules page

Just read your comments in the quote. Flightstats only recently pulled down their public schedule info. I sent you a PM

Kayak.com

Turn off the pay comparison sites and you can see SWA.

Ever since Sabre bought Flightline in 2010 the service has progressively gotten worse! I'm at a point where I'm thinking of dumping them...
