Flight Schedules out 6 months?
Anyone know if continental schedules out filght times/schedules further out than 6 months, or if its shorter? Reason I'm asking is that my company has a policy that if the flight is over 4 hours I can fly in F. My typical flight I take every week is going 3 hours and 57 mins for the next few months (doh!) so I'll be relying on EAU's. Looking at the schedules it looks like this is the case through the end of the year since the equip is changing to a 73G from a 733.
Would this seem set in stone thats its through the end of the year, or have they just not scheduled out to October yet and everything past that is keeping the same flight details from that time frame until a change in made?
Thanks.

The schedule itself is loaded 330 days in advance, but the block times can change for various reasons. Block times also change thru the day because of schedule padding for delays at busier times. Sometimes the same city pair can be 20 minutes (or more) longer later in the day. If you don't have to be on that specific flight, pick a later one that's over 4.

Ah- ok thanks- I'll probably just stick with the same flight since the next one out doesn't get me in until around midnight and the # of upgrades in the cabin have been showing around just over 50% pretty consistantly for this leg (EWR-AUS) for the 2pm flight according to the PDA listings for early in the week. Thanks!

Nice! Go to FlightStats or something...usethat as a justification that a 4-hour limit should really be 3:30 because of delays.
