Star Alliance Timetable program gone?

What happened to the Star Alliance timetable program? It seems to have disappeared from the web site, and updates haven't been available for several weeks now. It was extremely handy for finding routings between oddball cities while maintaining my preference for Star Alliance carriers.

Is it under repair, or permanently gone? Anybody know?

Hmm... this isn't the most ACTIVE forum on the board, is it?

Perhaps nobody cares about outdated program?

I am also quite upset that the update info is not available anymore for the PC based timetable. It was extremely useful in finding out routing/time information when Internet is not available. I am very upset.

It's definitely disappeared. OW dropped theirs a while ago for the "flight map," a really useless, cumbersome and often incomplete substitute.

Anybody see a *A place to complain about this?

But at least it works for what it does, and I can get some idea of OW routing from it. For *A there is now nothing.

Did you try the Route Map on http://www.staralliance.com/en/destinations?

It seems to be working surprisingly well...

Doesn't help. With the OW map application, I can enter "LAX-NBO", say, and it will show me the various routings using OW carriers. The *A link you sent me doesn't do anything like that. And that's exactly what I need.

Are you sure? For your example, I got this:

I was wondering about the timetable too and Star Alliance replied:


Dear ...., The timetable for PC was discontinued due to the very small number of requests/downloads per month. This is, of course, very unfortunate for those, such as you, who enjoyed the benefit of the timetable, however we had to make this decision based on the overall costs required to maintain this service. Best regards
