Ungoogled flight info

Technology

I have been using proton mail instead of gmail for a while now. Feature that I miss is how gmail will automatically create a calendar entry for flights when you get the confirmation email. Most airlines still let you go in and download an ICS file manually, which is nice, but some don’t! Any suggestions?

I’ve fiddled around with trying to parse the email HTML using beautifulsoup or whatever but the structure isn’t consistent. I also tried asking an LLM “make this an ICS please” but it keeps fucking up the timezones. It seems like it should be easy to query some API for flight info but they are all expensive.

Honestly I miss it too, but now I’m just opening Proton Calendar on the right panel of the email app (on the browser) and copying and pasting the info there. Archaic? Maybe, but I’d rather have it dealt with quickly, otherwise I will forget to add it to the calendar later on. I wish they’d just add this feature as something native to Proton Mail so it could create events on the calendar…

If you find anything that works tho, pls let me know!
