Is it possible to schedule transfer flights in advance ???

I have just completely re-done the schedules for a few of my aircraft so that they will all be operating out of completely different airports than they were previously. In 3 days time the aircraft will all end up in one airport as they finish the flights from their old schedules and then need to be transferred to a different airport so that they can start the flights for their new schedule. 

Is there any way that I can schedule these transfer flights in advance so that I don't have to remember to do this later, because if I am busy and can not make it to a computer or just forget about it, then I am going to end up with a lot of cancelled flights . . .

Hello

You can do that by canceling some flights if your aircraft has his future Hub as destination already planned

For example, if the plane does New York-Washington and that you want it to do now New York-Boston, cancel the last “NYC-WAS” before the first “NYC-BOS”

the problem is that for the aircraft I was talking about, they will be flying to completely different airports for their new schedules, so what you suggest is unfortunately not possible

So, you have two solutions :

- wait that the plane reached his last destinations to plan a transfer flights (but you have to be connected just at this time)

- wait the MP saying that the plane is not on the good airport to plan the transfer and cancel the flights that won't be possible

The one time I’ve done this, I found it best to wait a day before I activated the new schedule. Then I used the memo pad function on the enterprise home page to remind myself to schedule the transfer flight in the gap between old and new schedules. No cancelled flights, just a loss of a day’s ticket revenue. And since the transfer flight was less than an hour, I also had just over twenty-three hours grace time in case I forgot to log on.
