💡 Enter the flight number first — Galmund looks it up and auto-fills airline, origin, destination, and typical departure/arrival times. Double-check the filled-in times against your actual booking, since the lookup returns scheduled times, not your specific date. If a flight number isn't found, just fill in the fields yourself.
Saving a flight
Click Save flight to add the segment. It appears in the list below and is added to your Schedule on the selected departure day.
Flights on the globe
When you view your trip's Schedule, the flight segments appear as curved arcs on the globe, connecting origin to destination. The arc is a great-circle path — the actual route a plane would fly.
💡 Add your return flight too — even if it's on the last day. It completes the visual story of your trip on the globe and helps with budget calculations.
Frequently asked questions
What is an IATA code?
IATA codes are 3-letter airport codes used worldwide. For example: GRU (São Paulo Guarulhos), NRT (Tokyo Narita), CDG (Paris Charles de Gaulle). You can find your airport's code on your booking confirmation.
Do flight times have to be exact?
No. You can add approximate times — Galmund uses them to show the flight arc on the globe and to place the segment in your schedule. Exact times help if you want precise day planning.
What does the flight arc on the globe look like?
Added flights appear as a curved great-circle arc on the globe, connecting the origin and destination airports. The arc appears when you view the Schedule tab.
Can I add a connecting flight?
Yes. Add each flight segment separately (e.g. GRU→MIA then MIA→NRT). Each segment appears as its own arc on the globe.
Do I have to fill in origin, destination, and times by hand?
Not if you know the flight number. Type it in and Galmund looks it up to fill in airline, origin, destination, and typical times automatically — you can still adjust anything it fills in, and enter everything by hand if the lookup doesn't find it.
