Flight duration does not factor timezone #42

Closed briandotdev closed 2 months ago

briandotdev commented 2 months ago

Hey this is really cool! Thanks for sharing with the community.

I am on a flight currently. UA2360. Departure at 4:53 EST and arrival at 6:19 CST. Jetlog shows this as an 86 minute flight but it's actually a 146 minute flight when you factor the one hour timezone change. I'm thinking that the app is possibly not timezone aware at present time? Does the airport database that is being used carry a time zone field?

Thanks for the issue, but this is a duplicate of #32.

Currently Jetlog does not attempt to fetch any timezone, and the duration calculation is performed by assuming that the departure and arrival times are in the same time zone.
