PDF timetable: flights to nowhere
In the PDF version of the timetable, there seem to be flights that leave an airport, but do not go anywhere.
Take Bimini Island (BIM). Neither of the flights (9274 and 9191) go anywhere. On the same page, flight 88 out of PEK seems to go to Newark and then leave to oblivion...
What's up with that?
[Am I a weirdo for actually looking at this thing?]

Yeah, you must the first one to notice. Anyways, FLL and IAH are so insignificant places in the world that some editor probably decides it won't matter to omit them.

I had a professor who would pay you $5 for every typo/error you found on the "pre-publish" version of his book that we used in class.
If only ralfp would get some miles for proof-reading the timetable!

I had a prof. who would give us one point out of 100 on our final grade for finding typos in his book. Of course his book was the the textbook for the class, so finding typos meant reading the darn thing...

Just noticed another thing on the downloadable PDF timetables:
All flights under 500 miles now say "500 mi". I think it should go back to displaying actual miles.
