Departure date/times are based on where the departing airport is, not where our servers are. If the information is no longer available it is because the airline is no longer making it available.
For example, it is now after midnight EDT (6/22) and you can still easily pull up information about flights that haven't yet departed tonight on the west coast for 6/21:
