Apple calendar keeps updating with "new time" for flight

Has anyone experienced this issue on Apple where calendar keeps being updated with new flight times even though the flight times aren't changing? Doesn't happen with other airlines, but with my 2 (first) AA flight today, I got no fewer than 3 notifications on both my iPhone and MacBook for each of my flight segments that the calendar appointment had updated with new times. The flights hadn't changed at all. Just annoying to have to continue opening my app to clear notifications as I'm trying to board a plane.

Every time you open the AA app, the flights get updated. It's very annoying but I haven't yet bothered to find a fix.

Hmm I wonder if I can find a way to turn off those specific calendar notifications, although it might be nice if the flight were indeed delayed.

I had this issue. After a lot of trial & error, I figured out how to fix it. You need to go into Settings, select the American app, then select Siri & Search, and turn off the top option- Learn from this App.

My updates aren't because of "flight times". It's because "location changed". Seriously? I'm flying out of a different airport?

Thanks so much for this. I guess the only drawback is that actual schedule changes wouldn’t be updated? Doesn’t seem like a big deal at all given the benefit. I do wonder if I cancel a flight, and the calendar app automatically knows this, if it’s coming from email or somehow the app?

Yes, and it drives me NUTS!! Especially bc I fly AA almost every week. I’d love to figure out how to not get a million change updates when nothing has actually changed!!

Update:
After seeing that others have the same issue, I started playing with the calendar settings and figured out that turning off “Learn from this App” does the trick. Then I saw KMM810 had already posted the solution, ha!

Thank goodness theres a fix for this!! (I know, I know, first world problems.)

Update #2:
It’s still happening despite having that “Learn from this App” feature turned off. 😩

Yeah very weird, and yet another bug of the app. Another one, just for fun, is that the various confirmation buttons are obscured below by certain notification windows, and the developers didn't allow enough space at the bottom of the app, so there is no way to, for example, change your flight from your app using an iPhone without some workarounds. Pretty odd, and pretty poor development.

Sadly it’s very inconsistent with me.

I’ve also noticed Siri has stopped even picking up on flight times/calendar additions from American’s emails, so now it’s almost a moot point as I have to manually enter them anyway.

That's what mine said, every time. I never understood why. Now it's sorted! 😀
