Forward into the past!
I was sad to see those go, they only showed nonstop and "direct" flights, but it was easy to put alternate routings together for IROPS. You could always find them at the ticket counters and gates, and sometimes on the aircraft. When I was traveling a lot I used to have the pocket OAG with me, that was like the NW one but for all the airlines. They both saved me a lot of aggravation when a flight was delayed on canceled.
