New Version of Oneworld Electronic Timetable
I've just downloaded a new version of the timetable from this page . At first glance, it looks OK to me in that possibly the itineries may survive data updates (yet to be tested, of course).
Any opinions about other aspects? |
I got it a couple of weeks ago and am of two minds. First, I don't mind the functionality and speed of it at all, especially on downloads, although I wonder if that's because I still have the "old" timetable on my system.
However, I am very unhappy that the "all airports" option is gone from the O/D lists. It makes RTW planning, where every coupon counts, a lot harder. Maybe a quibble, but I sent off a note to the webmaster on it (through the help menu) anyway. |
In my opinion, its rather difficult to use the new version. I preferred the old version. Seems like the Skyteam timetable is based on the new OW version as well.
|
The PDA version is better and it calculates the miles (really useful for MR planning!!)
Also the CX Oneworld Timetable is good as it tells you what class is offer (well based on schedule) on the flights and easy to use. |
Schedule for two months only!
Why is it, that there's data for next two months only?? Not nice if you're planning a trip for November.. you still need to check airliners own timetable.

Can't you run the two timetables applications side-by-side (I seem to be able to)?

Alternatively you might want to try the following: http://downloads.cathaypacific.com/c...9574_setup.exe The CX timetable is a lot better as it provides more options on transits and unlike the old Oneworld timetable that was bias towards BA and QF and not offer any other connections, this timetable shows all possible permutation of connections. And it also tells you the MCT and the class config of the aircraft. |
Great, Thanks, I will try it out.

The CX timetable does not seem to give me non CX flights when there is a CX alternative.
E.g. PER-HKG 12th Jan. |

Dear Gardyloo, Not bad.Thank you for your feedback on oneworld's new downloadable timetable product. We have had several requests for this feature to be added to the new flight schedule program. The old version was created by a different vendor and had some different features. We are looking to include useful features such as the all airports view back into the new program for the next major release. Thank you, (Name) oneworld webmaster http://www.oneworld.com |
