How to do a Timetable Search

Timetable searches find flights between two points (OND) or all flights at an airport, for a specific date or date range.

Search Types​

  • Search for an OND on a specific day
  • Search for an OND with a start and end date
  • Search for an airport timetable on a specific date
  • Search for an airport timetable with a start and end date

Examples​

Show nonstop flights LHR-ATH on 2025-12-16
Show all flights LHR-ATH from 2025-10-01 to 2025-12-31
Show nonstop operating flights from LAX to ORD on 2025-12-16

Best Practices​

Schedule types​

The default search returns operating flights and codeshares. It is good practice to specify the schedule type in your prompt. Options include:

  • Operating — flights operated by the airline on its own metal
  • Codeshares — partner flights marketed under the airline's code
  • Interlines — flights operated under interline agreements
  • Marketing — a catch-all term covering operating flights and codeshares

To filter to your own codeshares only, include my codeshares in your prompt — this distinguishes your codeshares from all codeshares in the dataset.

Circuity​

Maestrow applies a variable default circuity based on straight-line distance. Add a circuity value to your prompt for more precise connection filtering.

MCT​

The default MCT is 300 minutes. This can be adjusted in your prompt.

Debug​

To understand why connections were or were not made, add Add Debug Code to your prompt. Maestrow will return additional detail on how it evaluated each connection.
