Some weird flights listed.

ATA servicing Sacramento?

AA with two dual flights to Dallas/Ft. Worth leaving within two minutes of each other?

Northwest serving nonstop to Atlanta?

United serving Louisville?!


what's going on with this. and no, there's no code share interruption. just some real whacked out flight information displays.

Its all code share crap. The NW to ATL is really the DL flight. Look around in the list at the other flights to the same city at the same time. The ATA flight is actually WN. I think it is a really bad setup. The old system was much better. This new system is just a mess of meaningless flight numbers.

It might be, but I even checked some of the flights via codeshares....the only one that was in sync with the other carrier was the Northwest departure to Atlanta.

Quite odd.

Unfortunately it has been this way for a while.

Ok I figured out what is going on. What a freggin mess. I was looking at the board today and there was a US flight from Spokane, WA. I did some checking and its actually a HP flight from Spokane to Phoenix to Indianapolis. There are others like this on the board. The problem is trying to figure out what airline it is and what airport the flight is really coming from.

If you could come up with an accurate arrival/departure system for the airport, I'm sure you'd make even more friends with the airport authority.

You don't have to make them. You can rent them for about $15 a month.
