Respectfully the problem just seems to be yours. I am not apologizing for anything or anyone but there are so many avenues to get flight information but you seem to be stuck on this one method. If a lot of people are not into getting flight details
then they have to deal with it.

The infrequent flyer. That's often one (of many) things they don't think about. As a former FF, I even give flight connections up line so they can see if I'm hung up along the way.

From a "from the horse's mouth" perspective, where would you get your flight information if it was more than a day out? Google, OTA? Not the most accurate or up-to-date sources.

Addendum: I am sure WS once provided this sort of information and even the current website alludes to the fact that it does, or did.

I still don't see why anyone would look up your flight before the day they're picking you up at the airport. Presumably your request for a ride came with an indication of your arrival time instead of asking them to block the day for you. Then on the day, they use the flight status function on the home page for the most up to date information.

Also, Google uses OAG to populate the top search result for "flight schedule from XXX to YYY" so just as up to date as an airline site would be for the most part.

The person driving to the airport may want to schedule a distant (time or actual distance) trip around it, or to avoid traffic. Some people would like advance notice more than just make plans the day before at the earliest to avoid schedule conflicts. One might want to schedule an appointment, pick up or drop off of parts and equipment while on the way there or back, etc.. I'm not one to drive out for a single task and a single task only, but rather, often plan to do several things on the same trip.

Here's the example of uselessness.

Go to this page
https://www.westjet.com/en-ca/travel...ight-schedules
You say to yourself, "Great. WS is going to show me what times the all flights between A and B are so I can figure out what time my uncle Ruslan is arriving. He can't read latin script too well, and only told me his flight is arriving in the mid-afternoon, and since it takes him 3 days to get here, and I can't get in touch with him and ask for details because his PAYG phone doesn't work outside Moldova".

So you click on
https://www.westjet.com/en-ca/book-t...-flights/index
which says, " find your non-stop flights with our direct flight schedule below."
and say to yourself, "Well, that's not very useful. What part of :"schedule" do they not get? Do they not know the difference between "schedule" and "frequency"? Daily? Is that only once a day?"

So you click the next link and you get dumped on the booking page, which - unknown to you - only shows flights that are not fully booked/sold. In the hypothetical case of my flight this weekend, I would find that there is no flight shown arriving between just after 12h and just after 19h. Not very useful. If WS deigned to display flights that are full, it would be infinitely more useful. It's actually be a schedule!

Again, I would take an airline's word for it over Google.

maybe this will satisfy your requirements.

Again, fine, if you can find it Most airlines can offer a custom-generated weekly schedule of direct and even connecting flights, which shouldn't be too difficult for a half-compentent IT department come up with. Alternative as I've previously stated is, at least show fully sold flights. Not too difficult to put "not available" in place of a "from" fare.

YVR Cockroach

You would, I would, most here would but I've run into more than a few people who don't think to offer flight information and/or don't respond to further info requests for more information. Seriously.

And what you propose is not helpful if I want to know more than a day ahead of time.
