I tend to use the BA 'Add to calendar' function and then Flighty picks up the flights automatically from my calendar entries. Actually, I add all flights from all airlines into my calendar and then all my flights appear in Flighty. I've not had a problem using this approach but it can take a few minutes to a few hours for Flighty to parse the calendar. I'm not sure if there's a way to force that.

It pushes me any notifications about changes such as tail number, aircraft swaps and timing changes so I don't have a problem with the calendar clutter. Your point about the PNR is a good one. There is a place to add a booking code in the Flighty entry and I'm not sure why the app doesn't take that across automatically given that it's in the information it's importing. It would be helpful to have an answer on that
flightyryan . Thanks.
thanks golfmad!
PNR should be currently getting imported via email import and calendar sync. If it’s not, that’s because the email format or calendar format is not making it deadly clear enough which is the PNR. And we default to nothing versus potentially being wrong.
I totally agree that if we group flights into trips that PNR is the correct way to do it. We’ve had shockingly few requests to group flights. Shockingly few!

So, Flighty wont handle my BA emails for import and can’t connect to my Tripit - what a useless app. How do i get a refund on my subscription?
thks
Yes. As noted our FAQ TripIt decided to silently kill api access for all its GDPR users. And the error they get does not disclose this.

This software feels very buggy and i would recommend not subscribing to anyone reading this. WJ
Widgets are not the most robust thing Apple ever built. 99% of the time rebooting your device is the only fix but it’s works.
