One of the countries required for Globetrotter is Antigua and Barbuda. However I do not seem to be able to find any destination for this country. I know it has 2 airports TAPA and TAPH and I remeber there was a flight towards TAPA from ATL. Am I missing anything?

Not sure, but maybe these flights are seasonal?

That means that can be booked only on Saturday? I thought all flights were shown on the schedules.

I hate it when these threads get left unresolved smile

So, shouldn't this flight show up in the database
regardless, I do not see the destination in the pulldown menu of the flight finder?? I actually looked
it up on the Delta website, and its Delta 653, but why is the VC Bird or Antigua not in the finder list, a bug?

My understanding is that it can only be found in the flight finder on the relevant days it is active. For legs that are seasonal, the leg may disappear for months. Furthermore it must be flown on that date or at a minimum I think you can create a flight assignment on that date and fly it later.

One trick that I've learned from others is that instead of using the "Find a Flight" website feature, try using the "Browse Schedule" in the Pilot Center. You'll find results that show up there which don't show up when using the pull down boxes in "Find a Flight".

All of that said, you don't need all countries listed for Globetrotter. Move on to countries with available routes. IIRC Globetrotter requires 54 of an available 65 countries. Essentially this means you can get Globetrotter w/o Antigua and Barbuda

The schedule database is not static showing all routes, all the time. Instead it is dynamic and, with the exception of the historic routes, is updated frequently - at least daily I think - using real world schedule information. Thanks to - or because of - the updates, any given day will only show the real world routes for that day.

TAPA-KATL, DVA652 Leg1 -KATL-TAPA, DVA653 both showing on Monday
As far as I can tell, this route does not appear in Delta's Worldwide schedule as of now.
