Quick Look:

How to find a flight

The Flights page contains a list of all the flights you have access to. By default, the Not archived filter is selected, showing you all flights except the archived ones. (Select All to see all flights including archived ones.) Use the filters to narrow down the list until you find the one, you're looking for.

Filter by status/state:

Narrow your search by selecting the Status/state filter that corresponds to the status or state of the flight you are looking for. For example, select Draft in the quick filters to see only flights that have their status set as Draft.

Filter by user:

Select My teams to only see flights created by members of your team. Or select Me to only see flights created by you.

You can also combine quick filters, such as quick-filtering Draft flights created by Me.

Filter by name, etc.:

Enter a name or other text in the filter bar and select the search criteria from the smart list suggestions that appear. The suggestions list varies depending on the text you enter.

For more information, see Searching/Filtering.
