Alternative to TripIt = TripWaffle

Minor fix @tripwaffle.

I've noticed that flights imported from Flightradar24 are not reading the flight reason correctly.

Flight reason 2 is importing as "crew", where it should be "work".

reason=0 -> 'business'
reason=1 -> 'leisure'
reason=2 -> 'work' (just fixed; was 'crew')
reason=3 -> (never seen)
reason=4 -> ?

Thanks for reporting.

Are there any plans to track incoming flights - for the delays notification?

We are tracking inbound already in some instances, but it's all a matter of data coverage, and we're cheap like that

In terms of using this for delay notifications: it gets pretty complicated, as airlines can swap aircraft (if they have any available) at the last moment. So in a way, you'd also have to know what other nearby inventory is on hand.

There's essentially an unlimited amount of analysis/optimisation you can do on flight tracking / prediction so we're mostly focused on easy wins at this stage.
