Timetable day
Watch the video: Planning with SimBrief
On a timetable day your airline flies its schedule. Instead of picking any flight, you take one of the day's departures, and it's booked for you at its scheduled time. Each departure is flown by one pilot, so the day fills up like a real airline's.
Take a departure
- On a timetable day your dashboard says Today is a timetable day. Open it, or go to Book a flight › Timetable day.
- The departures are listed by time (UTC), with where they go, the aircraft and who took each. You're here marks the ones from your airport.
- Press Take on an open one. It's booked for you at its time, and the booking page opens.
The usual booking rules apply: you need to be at the departure airport when your airline asks for it, your rank must fly the aircraft, and you have one booking at a time. A departure can be taken until 30 minutes after its time. Cancel the booking and the departure is open again for someone else.
For staff
Turn it on under Staff → Airline settings → Optional features → Timetable day. It's off until you do.
Plan a day on Staff → Operations → Timetable days (staff with the Routes and schedules permission):
- Pick the day (UTC), up to 60 days ahead, and a title if you like.
- Choose departures from all airports or from one hub, and optionally only routes with one tag.
- The departures are your scheduled and cargo routes that have a departure time and are flown that day. Routes without a time aren't on it: set one on Staff → Operations → Routes, or bring real times with Import real flights, which is free.
Removing a timetable day keeps the flights already booked as ordinary bookings. Partners' shared flights aren't on your timetable.
