Must you fly your flight the same week it is scheduled?

Sorry, newbie question here......

Just placed my first bids. (For February) I picked flights during the second and fourth weeks of the month. Must I wait until the second and fourth weeks of the month to fly them, or am I able to fly them now?

We ask that they be flown sometime within the month they are bid for.

But you do need to set your date and time in Flight Sim to match what the schedule says, even when you fly on a different day of that month.

David, just to clarify, I assume you are talking about regular bid flights from the Polar schedule. The Atlas and DHL schedules need to be flown within 14 days from the day you take those flights. We would like to see them flown as soon as possible especially if they are a particularly "good" flight.
