Here is a TWA schedule from October 1992.

Interesting things about this schedule:

• After TWA (or rather, Carl Icahn) sold off the London-Heathrow routes.  All trips to London now are via Gatwick.
• This includes the infamous Atlanta hub.  Not sure how long this lasted, but according to this New York Times article, it seems to have been until at least  October of 1993.  (If anyone has any comments about the TWA Atlanta hub, please leave a comment!)
• On the back of the schedule, they have an advertisement for their frequent flyer program.   They say that you can get free travel within the US at 20,000 miles.  Looking at American Airlines website today, this would take 50,000 for an unrestricted ticket.
• 35,000 miles for the Middle East or Europe.  Today on American?  You’re looking at 100,000 for unrestricted.  Gotta love inflation.

Here’s the TWA schedule from December of 1994. Unfortunately, TWA stopped showing the route map with ‘lines’ showing the flights, so this one is just the cities server. Bummer.

BUT…

TWA did start to show flight numbers, and the equipment operating that flight. So that’s a plus. And since it’s the Holidays, and I’m a nice guy, I’ve included the equipment listing scanned at a higher resolution, so you can read it.

We’re heading out of town for the Holidays, so I probably won’t update until later next week. Enjoy!

Here’s the cover and route map from the January to April 1987 TWA schedule. Pretty standard stuff.

This is during the time they had Trans World Express service in California. I don’t know much about it, but it didn’t seem to last long. Anyone know more?

Well, time to get things started!

Here the front and the route map for a 1977 TWA Schedule. Advertising “TWA’s Widebody 1011. The most advanced plane in the world.”

This was still a time before they centralized on St. Louis at the domestic hub. Flying from such places as Phoenix->San Francisco (a flight I took quite a few times in the early eighties, before we ended up moving to Phoenix.) I remember it being on 707′s mostly.
