You can add a transportation section in Pilot using details like your flight number, airline, train ticket number, or bus number—and even include a link to the official booking or schedule. Just fill in your departure city and date, along with your arrival city and date, to keep everything organized in one place.
Adding Flights
There are two ways to add flights to your itinerary. For both of them, begin by clicking on the plane icon in the bottom bar of your trip planner. You can also type the letter T on your keyboard, or drag and drop the plane directly into the itinerary.
Auto flight search: This is best for tickets that are already purchased.
Just enter the airline code. Then select the date of your flight. We will search all flight data to find the correct flight, which will automatically be added to your itinerary.
You'll see underneath an ability to add a connecting flight to get your whole journey covered at once! Click outside the box, and your flight is now added to your itinerary.
Manual entry: Great for collaborative planning and presenting options.
You can also manually add flight details by clicking add flight and then “enter flight details manually.”
You'll see options for airline code and flight number, departure city and arrival city. You are not required to fill in all fields. Please note that the information you enter will not be referenced with any flight data.
Enter your departure and destination cities. You may also use IATA airport codes if you are familiar. Select the appropriate location from the drop-down menu. You can access the date picker by clicking “Date”, then using the date/time selector.
Clicking outside the box will close the flight editor and add the trip to your itinerary.
Adding Other Transportation Types
To add a bus, train, boat, or car trip, you'll need to enter the details manually. Just follow the same steps as you would for adding a flight, but instead of clicking the plane icon, use the drop-down arrow to choose the right type of transportation.
You can also add a connecting flight or transfer train/bus in a separate section under your initial transportation section.
Additional Features within the Transportation panel
The notes section will allow you to add information to the transportation panel. Click to type in this section.
The paperclip icon in the bottom right will allow you to attach files such as boarding passes. Click the icon to access, then drag and drop files or browse your computer to upload.
The dollar sign icon will allow you to add costs to the trip. Click the icon to access and type your amount. Clicking the currency will open up a list of currencies to change to. Just so you know, changing the currency does not convert the value inputted.
The link icon allows you to add a URL outside your Pilot app with more information. Click the icon to access and type or copy/paste your link in the field provided.
