	Hi all I wonder why there is a big lack of flights in the official flight schedules of AFVA? Exemple: There's no scheduled flight for KLM's 737-800 is that normal? Another one very poor amount of flights for ALITALIA! Tell me ! Klaus

	It's a well known issue that we don't "have" KLM's B738 flights. Our provider, Innovata, lists all B738 flights under the 737-700, hence why you don't see them. Rest assured, they are there. The reason you only see a few Alitalia flights is because those are the only flights AFR and Alitalia code share. Basically, those are the only Alitalia flights with an AFR flight number attached to them. You won't ever see the entire schedule unless the real world AFR/KLM buys Alitalia. Cheers!

	Lack of Flights...? We have over 12,000 of them... As Steve said above, we will only have flights that Air France or KLM Codeshare with and not the entire schedule for that said airline... We are also gaining more Codeshare flights.... Our Newest one is Saudi Arabian Airlines coming in January...So keep an eye open for those... As for the KLM 737 issue, KLM are very flexiable when it comes to there scheduling as the 737 is the mainstream short haul airliner for them they still use the -400 as well as the 700/800 & 900. Most if not all of there 737 flights come under the EQV banner (Equipment can Vary) for example...... Amsterdam to London first flight out, may only have 98 PAX so they'll use a -700 less seats, yet tomorrow on the same they may have 161 PAX so a -800 will be used, thats why its hard for our provider to keep on top of them, as it can change up to an hour before the flight is due to depart... Hope that make sense. Robert
