Love flying any airline I want anywhere I want. https://iflyschedules.com/ Curious, why use schedules at all? This morning I wanted to do a route from Iceland and did Keflavik to Edinburgh in a Finnair 738, just ad hoc w/o scheduling software. Maybe just because you wish to mimic routes used by specific airlines? The Tools menu in APL2 does the same thing and lets one put in min/max time/distance so is as flexible as it needs to be, unlike its regular scheduler.

I like seeing 20 or more flights where I can choose what length and routes I haven't flown before. Always flying to different airports that way. Different airlines have different routes so that makes it interesting too. Right now I am flying around France and the UK, yesterday I was in the US. Never the same. Edited May 26, 20251 yr by Bobsk8
