How to parse flight confirmation details without losing local time context
A flight confirmation becomes easier to review when each segment has its own departure and arrival information. Airport identifiers and local dates are important parts of that record.
Start with the right material.
- What you provide
- readable flight itinerary text from one confirmation email.
- The intended result
- Flight details from readable itinerary email text.
How the workflow works.
Keep flight number, route and stated times together for each leg. Preserve timezone or local-time wording where supplied and avoid inventing an offset from an airport name alone.
What to check in the result.
Check the booking and current airline information before travel. Overnight flights and later schedule changes can affect the itinerary, so a parsed email should not be presented as a live flight-status service.
Import the CSV with a consistent delimiter and inspect text identifiers, dates and amounts before using spreadsheet totals. Keep the original file available while checking any automatic type conversion.
Learn from the worked example.
The downloadable CSV example uses these columns: Booking, Flight, From, To, Date, Departure local, Arrival local, Timezone. Compare a complete record with the source before sorting, combining or importing your own output.
The supplied example is illustrative. It is not a recorded run on your data.
