...... such a vague question.

first you will need data of the flight schedule.
then you will need a way of storing your data, be it flat file, xml, or a database like mysql

then you will need to query data, and display it on your pages

unless you just want to update the page with HTML, which I don't think you want to do since you're on a PHP board ;)
Set Search Time - A google chrome extension. When you search only results from the past year (or set time period) are displayed. Helps tremendously when using new technologies to avoid outdated results.

okie, my question was indeed vague.
I wanted to know whether there are free APIs or rss feeds to obtain the flight schedules.

most of the schedules are done through large airline alliances.
If you know a site that does display flight schedules, drop them a friendly email and ask them where the get their information from.

It doesn't hurt to ask the worst they can do is ignore you.
If they do find another one and do the same. Just don't bug them or spam them.
