Last week I flew a b737-800 from ksfo > klax flight 1612 leg 1. This week I tried to book the same flight but it seems that the flight no longer shows in the schedule.
I wonder what I am doing wrong. Would the flight schedule have changed over the past week. Maybe im just doing something very silly.
Can anyone help Pete

The flight number has changed. The flight is still there, but under a different number.

Not all flights are listed on the schedule every day. To save a flight you want, save it as a flight assignment and it'll be in your schedule for 2 weeks.

Peter, you don't have to use the 737-800 for that route. You may use any plane you are rated in (see your Pilot Center). So long as you are rated in the plane and can complete the flight legally then your good to go. So if a flight that you want shows MD-88 you may still use your 737.

Hey thanks Michael, I did not know that. I always that you could only fly routes that have your approved type specified . Ill try selecting a route that i want to fly and change to my approved type and hopefully acars will allow this.

Thanks for the correction on this.
