How to do an OND Flight Search

Timetable searches find flights between two points (OND) or all flights at an airport, for a specific date or date range.

Search Types​

  • Search for an OND on a specific day
  • Search for an OND with a start and end date
  • Search for an airport timetable on a specific date
  • Search for an airport timetable with a start and end date

Examples​

MaestrowPROMPT
Show nonstop flights LHR-ATH on 2025-12-16
MaestrowPROMPT
Show all flights LHR-ATH from 2025-10-01 to 2025-12-31
MaestrowPROMPT
Show nonstop operating flights from LAX to ORD on 2025-12-16

Results​

Every timetable search result is saved automatically as a named result set, such as rs_0001. Maestrow shows the result-set name in its response. Use that name, or refer to the result as the first or latest table, to display, chart, or export the same results later without running the search again.

Results with 100 rows or fewer are normally displayed as a table in chat. For results with more than 100 rows, Maestrow shows a short summary and asks whether you want to display the results in chat, generate a chart, or export them to CSV. It does not automatically type a large table or create a preview-only CSV.

The table columns are prepared directly from the timetable data and rendered by the shared presentation tools, so the same columns are used for inline display, on-demand display, and export.

You can display only part of a large result set by requesting a row range, for example:

Display rows 50 to 100

You can also request a result set by name:

Display rs_0001

CSV exports contain the complete result set, not only the rows displayed in chat. For example:

Export to CSV

Additional Filters​

You can refine results using any SSIM field. For a full list of available fields, see How to do a SSIM File Search.

Best Practices​

Schedule types​

The default search returns operating flights and codeshares. It is good practice to specify the schedule type in your prompt. Options include:

  • Operating — flights operated by the airline on its own metal
  • Codeshares — partner flights marketed under the airline's code
  • Interlines — flights operated under interline agreements
  • Marketing — a catch-all term covering operating flights and codeshares

To filter to your own codeshares only, include my codeshares in your prompt — this distinguishes your codeshares from all codeshares in the dataset.

Circuity​

Maestrow applies a variable default circuity based on straight-line distance. Add a circuity value to your prompt for more precise connection filtering.

MCT​

The default MCT is 300 minutes. This can be adjusted in your prompt.

Debug​

To understand why connections were or were not made, add Add Debug Code to your prompt. Maestrow will return additional detail on how it evaluated each connection.
