Best tool for adding flights to calendar?
Hi y'all,
I just booked an ANA RTW flight that has legs on TAP, Austrian, and EVA. I wanted an easy way to add these flights to my calendar. In the past, I was able to do this by adding trips that had a united flight to my united account and then downloading from there but I couldn't find a way to do that and it seems that none of the above carriers have a way to download flights as calendar entries. Do any of you have a suggestion for the easiest way to do this?

We move the events if times or flights change, we make your flights as busy and any friends as free, we include airport address for ETAs and directions, plus times with time zone labels, flight duration, seat, booking code, and a link to open the flight directly in Flighty.
if any other apps is better, Id be shocked, and remedy that right away

Kayak (and I think TripIt) offers such functionality. Essentially, you forward your confirmation e-mails to an address (once you register), they build up a full itinerary (flights, hotels, etc.), and then you can create a link (an ICS/calendar) file that you can add to your favourite calendar app. I believe it's static (no automatic updates), and I ended up just sharing the Kayak link, which worked out well for my purpose.

Thanks Skippy. Ya I may have gone perfectionist on our calendar sync.

What are the conditions that trigger this chime alert sound on Flighty?
