Plan a trip

Add flights to your trip

A flight is one entry that becomes two linked stops: a takeoff at one airport, a landing at the other. Timezones are handled for real, so the long-haul that leaves Tuesday evening and lands Thursday morning files itself onto the right days. No calendar math on your side.

Log a flight

  1. 1 Choose Travel from the itinerary panel and keep Flight selected.
  2. 2 Pick the airports. City, airport name or code all work.
  3. 3 Enter the times exactly as your booking prints them. Each is local to its own airport, just like the ticket.
  4. 4 Check the Lands on day. Treader infers it from the airport timezones; overrule it if your booking disagrees.
  5. 5 Add it. Both ends appear in the itinerary, and Treader adds days if the landing runs past your last one.

One flight, two linked rows, and the true gate-to-gate time.

How flight rows behave

  • The duration shown is real air time computed across timezones, not clock arithmetic.
  • Flight rows are pinned. Everything else drags around them, but a booked flight doesn't move by accident.
  • Deleting either end removes its partner too. A flight is one thing.
  • Journeys with layovers work the same way: each leg lands on its correct day, connections included.

Ferries, trains and buses

The same tool logs a ferry, train or bus. Pick the mode at the top, search the terminals or stations instead of airports, and enter the time aboard. The pair behaves like a flight pair: linked ends, pinned rows, and extra days when an overnight crossing runs long.
