ADD to Calendar incorrect.
I've recently started adding my flight reservations to my Calendar by downloading the .ics files form the confirmation. I load them into a web application not many people use but I've noticed a few anomalies and I wanted to see if anyone else noticed them.
- Sometime the flight gets added on the wrong date, usually the day after the flight is scheduled. In information in the .ics file is incorrect, it gets added to the wrong date and I have to adjust the date.
- Every date comes in as a 'Whole Day" that is it blocks out from 12:01 AM to 11:59 PM.
- It appears that when working from the receipt page you get the passenger information, but when getting the .ics file from the RR account Details screen, the passenger information is omitted.

I have no issues loading them into ical, YMMV
Well, one thing, it tends to convert the times to my local time zone - so, my 2PM return flight from Vegas shows as a 4PM flight.
I think, when I'm actually in Vegas it will display correctly, as it lists the UTC time. I can report back after my trip in June.

You could have a time zone issue going on between what your computer says and what different apps are set to

Agree - Its the calendar on my phone, and I expect as also confirmed above, that when i land and my phone changes to the vegas local time zone, the calendar will display the correct time

My version of Outlook parses the email confirmations from my inbox and automatically adds them correctly to my calendar. It does this with hotel check-in and check-out as well.
IIRC it also deletes them if the flight is cancelled.
I believe it’s a preference you turn on.
