Never seen one, but a very good idea and one I'd really appreciate. Most if not all the US airlines do it, and for the time zone challenged like me, I find it incredibly useful when travelling to download into Outlook calendars the flight details.

Yes, very useful feature, import into google and it appears on my Nexus One :D

Come on VS, follow BA like you usually do!

Having a Mac, I simply click on the date part of any airline booking mail and it just happens....

Or is life more complicated than I think it is?

Cool! I never knew that and I've just added all my forthcoming flights.

Many thanks for that tip, Peter y)

Doesn't Tripit do it better for us?

I have a MAC too - but can't see how you do this from the email. Could you please enlighten me??

Just place the cursor over the date and click and a box with a drop-down triangle should appear which will allow you to place it as a new event in iCal. It doesn't work with all airline bookings. On my CO booking it's the flight number that comes up and it wants to go into my Contact list but for the rest it's fine

Tripit's V-good but you still have to enter your details into it first then a click populates your calendar.

With a Vcard it's just one click then it's in your calendar.

BA also put a reminder in for OLCI 24 hours before, with links to make it easier.
