There are multiple flights missing from the dropped (because of continental) KIAH-KSAT route. For Air France, there are two select non-stops starting at 3:45 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. Delta has 7 dailys and 4 select non-stop with the earliest flight at 7:30 a.m. and the last at 10:45 p.m. Northwest also has 5 dailys and 2 select non-stop with the earliest at 11:20 am and the last at 10:45 pm. Why aren't these in the schedule? When/will they get added?

Nicholas, where are you finding these flights? Also, could you list the flight numbers for them? I just checked Delta's downloadedable schedule, and there are no flights listed from IAH-SAT. If they were Continental codeshare flights, they are no longer in Delta's system and we are no longer authorized to fly them.

Air France flies KIAH-KSAT????

Looking on Flightaware, the only KIAH-KSAT flights I see are COA and BTA (ExpressJet). No AF or NW.

Yes, I was sceptical about Air France too but here is a link http://www.orbitz.com/flight-info/DL/DL-IAH-SAT.html

Nicholas, that is NOT an official schedule. All those flights listed are codeshares! First, AF does not have FAA aproval to operate interstate flights within the US. Second, if you check those flights, they are all COA flights that both Delta and Air France USED to codeshare on, before COA left skyteam for Star Alliance. Since that happened, the no longer codeshare on those flights.

Dang, what a bummer. I lost so many Texas routes with the leaving of COA. I can't even hit Corpus anytime now. That's too bad because TX is the place for me.
