Trip Timeline

Overview

The Timeline tab gives you a chronological feed of everything that's happened (or is happening) with your trip. Think of it as a flight-day diary that MileIntel writes for you — from the moment you book through touchdown and beyond.

What Appears in the Timeline

Events are logged automatically as they occur:

• Trip created — when you made or confirmed the trip
• Flight added — when a flight segment was attached
• Booking confirmed — airline system confirms your PNR
• Check-in opened — 24 hours (or carrier-specific window) before departure
• Checked in — when you complete check-in
• Gate assigned — initial gate assignment from the airline
• Gate changed — every gate change is logged with old and new gate numbers
• Boarding started — boarding has begun for your flight
• Delay detected — timestamp and duration of the delay
• Departed — wheels up
• Arrived — wheels down at destination
• Cancellation — if the flight is cancelled, with the timestamp

Reading the Timeline

Events are displayed newest-first with timestamps in your local timezone. Each event has an icon indicating its type (gate changes get a location pin, delays get a warning triangle, departures get a plane icon).

For multi-leg trips, events from all segments appear in a single unified timeline, so you can see your entire journey's story in one scroll.

Key Details

• Timeline events are permanent — they're never deleted, even after a trip is completed
• Gate changes log both the old and new gate, which is helpful for spotting patterns on future flights
• Delay events include the delta (e.g., "+45 min") so you can see how a delay evolved over time
• The timeline is read-only — you can't add manual entries

Tips

1. After a disrupted trip, review the timeline to document what happened. Useful for compensation claims.
2. On completed trips, the timeline serves as a travel journal. Every gate sprint and weather delay is recorded.
