[comp.mail.misc] Airline schedules database ?

jacquemi@yale.UUCP (Michel Jacquemin) (05/03/87)

Is there any database of airlines schedules and fares accessible from
the network (or any other network for which there is a gateway) ?
I would find it very useful, since my travel agent isn't patient enough
to look at all the possibilities I might want to look at.

	Official Airline Guide, a division of Dun & Bradstreet, and located
in Oak Brook, IL has a direct access database similar to their paper
"Official Airline Guide" publications.  I believe it is called the "Official
Airline Guide, Electronic Edition".
	I don't know what the access rates are.

You might try going down to your nearest Radio Shack and picking up
a subscription to CompuServe. I know it's really scraping the bottom of
the barrel to go over there but they do have airline schedules. :-)
