PC Timetable???
 

I've been trying to update the DL timetable on my PC and it always tell me that an update is not available? Anyone else having the same problem? I know that my timetable is way out of date, and I've been able to update it in the past, but not lately? any thoughts?

Maybe DL doesn't want us to have this information either. The schedule is what DL says it at the instant you ask. Hence flights can never be late or cancelled anymore. Isn't that nice?

Plus, I'm sure that customers have been demanding that timetables not be posted. Indeed, most passengers don't look at timetables when booking flights but search directly on delta.dumb, which is so perfect.....

The skyteam timetable stopped updating a while back, perhaps 6 months, and the contact link on their site was also broken last time I looked. DL has also broken the DL PC app. They are keeping the phone app working, but that requires an internet connection. Therefore, they can change things in real time and you only see the very current schedule.

It's a major PITA, I liked using the desktop program for planning itineraries, and when traveling, having it on my laptop let me search options to prepare for possible irops. I often used it in flight when I saw we were getting in late.

I don't know whether it is that they don't want us to have the info, or that software developers really believe people are connected to the internet 24/7 anywhere in the world.

The PDF is still updated and available.

There is a new desktop product, at least for Windows. Uninstall the old and install the new. It looks a bit different but has the same destinations/routes/flights functionality.

Way less fun than conspiracy, I know.

Thanks, I downloaded that. At first glance it is much less useful than the old app, let alone the old skyteam app. It appears you can't specify dates, and it doesn't seem to show itineraries with more than two segments.

The skyteam website does have a link to their app, but the link doesn't work.

So, not a conspiracy, just a significant downgrade, but at least the new DL app has a pretty face.

Yeah, i tried it too and it's not useful at all, 0% usefulness.

The PDF version is useless too as most flights are listed 20 plus times. If flight times are going to change that often, publish a weekly or daily PDF. Otherwise, do away with it!

Seems this feature has been 'enhanced' into uselessness.

Let's all bookmark this post so we can refer back to it when this change actually happens.

"Passengers traveling in the premium cabin and Diamond Medallions will receive a courtesy notification 24 hours in advance with the then estimated time of departure for their flight. (All flight times are subject to change until departure.) Other passengers may purchase a courtesy notification for $29 each, per passenger."

That used to be free for all passengers.... another "enchancement"?

There's a new Adobe based system, but it's pretty user hostile.

DL canned it. Loved the old timetable.
