Description Phil 2024-02-02 17:21:56 UTC

The KDE-Itinerary page says that "[it] supports train, bus and flight bookings". With the latest versions (on Linux and Android) I am only able to create new train journeys, ferry trips, accommodations, events and restaurants.
Importing an (old) boarding pass works. But I am unable to search for flights, create the trip manually or import booking confirmations (which could just be a problem that the issuer is unknown) for upcoming flights.

This might be no bug, but a feature request. I am a first time-user.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Open app on different systems.

OBSERVED RESULT
Only able to create new new train journeys, ferry trips, accommodations, events and restaurants.
Importing a boarding pass from PDF works.

EXPECTED RESULT
Option to add flights manually similar to train journeys.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE-Itinerary 24.01.95
  Android 14
  F-Droid Releases
KDE-Itinerary 24.04.70
  Android 14
  F-Droid Nightly
KDE-Itinerary 23.08.4
  Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (just an old test VM I had on hand to check if it might be an Android-only problem)
  Snap Store (appstream://org.kde.itinerary)

Thanks for your work!

Yes, the only option to get flights in at the moment is via import boarding passes (works most of the time) or flight booking documents/emails (works for some airlines), a manual editor like we have for other modes of transport is still missing. We definitely want that, although I'd not expect an actual flight search as to my knowledge there's no API/data available for free to implement that.
