Look at the total hours for these flights. They should be like 1-2 hours.

Some of the historic flights are messed up,usually the times are shorter or way longer than the regular flight time.
Maybe someone can try to fix them.

Stuart, there are often time issues whereby a flight arrives after midnight and the database messes up and makes the flight appear longer than its supposed to. Also, in some cases it may indicate a departure time in CST and an arrival time in EST and the flight appears to take an hour longer than necessary (or vice versa). the best way to estimate flight time is to look at the miles and compare the flight times with other flight times indicated. I usually plug in a route into FSBuild and let that program tell me what my flight time is. I would not trust the arrival/departure times.

They also vary by day so a flight may disappear if it does not happen to occur on a day when the schedule has been updated. Sorry for the confusion but we must all work with this and zulu time rolleyes
