How to plan a flight itinerary

Published 15 January 2026

Put dates, airports and connections together before you commit to a trip.

Start with the route

Choose your departure airport and destination. If a city has several airports, compare where each one is and how you would get to or from it.

Flight times are local. Check whether you arrive the next day and leave enough time between flights if your route has a connection.

Create a PDF from the flights you selected so you can share the plan. For a ticket or a reservation, contact the airline or your travel provider.
