Does anyone remember the old timetables?
 

Just curious. Remember the timetables that had a lot of functionality to them? You could do a search and list EVERY flight from one city. On the drop down menus you could select 'All cities'. I think you could even search a range of dates at one time. Then you could sort the flights by aircraft type or time or whatever... I wish they would bring that back! :(

Hey, the drop down menu timetables wasn't that long ago, remember to OIG books?

I thought you meant the paper ones they used to mail to us. Those were the OLD timetables.

We were on the same "page".

I have two of the old paper ones on my desk right now. They're good for nostalgia reading. For example, I've never heard of Spencer, IA (SPW), but UX had 8 flights a day there in 1997.

I would think new paper timetables would be obsolete 24 hours after being printed.

FWIW, you can still do this with the PC timetable (United PC TravelDesk/Easyschedule), just use the wildcard "*" in the Depart or Arrive fields.

I think you are limited to a maximum of 120 flights.

They don't change schedules that often!

The PDF timetables available for download on .bomb certainly look like they could be paper timetables (except that some of the non-flight-schedule material is out of date), but I have no idea if UA actually prints those PDFs for any reason.

I have a few UA paper timetables in my collection. The two oldest:

As a kid my father would bring home the paper-book timetables and I remember countless hours figuring out different ways to get to each city on United. When the 777 launched on UA I spent time finding all the city pairs that flew the 777.

Who knew it would come in handy 10-15 years later while trying to plan mileage runs.

Very nice collection of old UA timetables for viewing on Airchive
