International dateline... again

Please can you at least install a break link button between the times of arrival and departure for air transportation? If a flight crosses the international date line it is still impossible to correctly display both the departure and arrival time of that flight. This has been an issue for literally years and now my artist has actually started asking about it. Bad news is that he is paying for the subscription.

  Hey Alastair,

  Unfortunately, this isn't an option in our current software. We're currently planning our transition to a different framework that would allow us to create a more intuitive scheduling system, but this will more or less require us to rebuild our software on a new framework - as you imagine, it's a big of an undertaking. We definitely do want to change the current scheduling/time zone behavior in the future, though.

  For now, I'd recommend one of two things:

  • creating a Travel Item for your departure, and a separate Schedule Item for your arrival on the same date.
  • creating two Tour Dates with the same calendar date, one for departing the Eastern Hemisphere and one for arriving in the Western Hemisphere (or vice versa), and add your departure Travel Item and arrival Schedule Item on the appropriate dates.

  Thanks,
  Patrick
