PDF Timetable - Missing Cities
 
OK, I might just be losing my mind. But I just took a look at the PDF timetable which seems to show origin cities of Saginaw - Sao Paulo Sapporo - Scottsbluff - Seoul.

i.e. it seems there are no flights originating from San Francisco or Seattle -- which would seriously impact my upcoming plans.

It just keeps getting better... so sad.

Other cities missing as well.... Providence, RI for example

Major mistake. They will likely fix it ASAP I would imagine. Unless SFO is no longer a hub city or service destination :rolleyes:

Apple map service has taken over as timetable supplier?

No love for Toronto either :(

Hey, at least the file is now under "UADocuments" and is no longer "Continental.pdf" ... progress! ;)

This is a change I like, as it is now easier to see my schedule for MBS :D

It's a destination. Just not an origin point.

Or maybe they just ran out of space, since it seems to take them 2 pages to list a route with three flights per day.

It must be randomly eliminating cities and truncating schedules when running out of space. I'd noticed a while back that late day schedules from some cities were missing; right now, there's basically nothing listed post-1pm out of Houston. Oh well.

One plus least Z doesn't come before A: Zurich used to be the first city listed, right before Aalborg.

On the other hand, Zurich is no longer there.

Apparently Aalborg was, and still is, in some country named Alborg (silly me, thought it was in Denmark).

Hundreds of meals
 
The meal service column has these huge numbers. Somehow the flight durations have turned into a bunch of dashes and "S"es.

That's some fine alignment.

Yay! A brand new air terminal opening in a few weeks, and we still have UA service!

Anyone else find this version (versus the old UA version) entirely too cumbersome? One-minute changes from week to week, throw in a completely different flight number, and, for example, cities like Saginaw show 12-15 lines for 3 flights a day. Look at LAS to ORD, it's like 60 flights long for like 4-5 daily nonstops. I'd hate to see this if they issued it for more than 4 weeks ahead at a time.

And more annoyingly, when did they change to showing flight times purely in number of minutes? I need my calculator for HKG-ORD, which is 865 minutes. Sure, I can glance and see it's "about 14 hours", but seriously...All flight times in raw minutes now?

ralfp Oct 4, 2012 9:11 am

I can't believe it's missing Chicago.

I hope UA decides to fix the flaws and keep the PDF timetable. I don't use it too often, but when I do I'm happy that UA provides it.

It's just like the CO timetable used to be, but with worse formatting (e.g. minutes in the meal column) and lower quality data (e.g. no meal info & missing cities).

I think that the problems would be relatively simple to correct. Just fix the software that generates the darn thing.

I do wish that UA would remove the "direct" flights from the timetable. They're meaningless (except perhaps for the Island Hooper). They might as well include the direct flights from IAH to IAH (eg. bus 6546 that runs IAH-BPT-IAH) or the ORD-MKE-ORD flights. :rolleyes: Seriously though, removing the "direct" flights would shorten the file.

Anyone notice that that PDF timetable link is missing completely from the united.com site?

Yes, I have. Think they probably just decide to get rid of it for good.
