I hope the downloadable version (of the SkyTeam schedule, not of the Mac computer) makes more sense than the on line version.

I tried seeing what choices I would have in flying TLV-FLL on Nov 6. Guess what? It can't be done on SkyTeam planes -- at least not according to the schedule. It automatically brings me to Nov. 7.

A little playing around showed the reason. It only shows TLV-USA flights on Delta. This means taking the El Al TLV-JFK or TLV-EWR codeshare flights.

Nov. 6 is a Saturday. El Al does not fly on Saturdays. Hence, no flights are shown. But guess what? Alitalia does fly on Saturday out of TLV. So does Air France (and possibly Czech Air).

You can fly TLV-MXP-ATL-FLL. You can fly TLV-CDG-MIA. You can fly TLV-MXP-JFK-FLL (if you are willing to take Song) or, as I am doing, TLV-MXP-JFK-ATL-FLL.

If this is a SKY TEAM schedule, why not show all Sky Team flights?

On another subject: I now understand why Cholula has not been upgrading my flights for me. He preferred buying me a new Mac to replace my aging IBM. Cholula, do I have to wait until we meet in Venice or are you going to deliver it to FLL?
