Task

Populate flights<ul><li>The challenge is to get the Flight data populated such that you have the schedule of flight past and present as far as possible.</li><li>For the updated times (ie delays/cancellations) you need to scrape the live site from the airport (eg gva.ch for Geneva airport, &nbsp;<a href="https://www.hermesairports.com/flight-info/arrivals-and-departures-pfo">https://www.hermesairports.com/flight-info/arrivals-and-departures-pfo</a> for Pathos)<ul><li>So practically there are two tasks,&nbsp;<ol><li>Build the forward schedule (so clients can book a trip say 2 weeks in advance</li><li>Check and update live times on the day of the flight.&nbsp;<ol><li>And the objective is to then marry that data</li><li>In absence of the list of flights, can we scrape kayak for all the destinations served by the airport to build a list of flights?</li></ol></li></ol></li></ul></li><li>Chat GPT tells me the PFO site is easy to scrape as simple HTML, but the GVA site is harder</li><li>The basic idea is that we should get updated flight info from the live sites (gva.ch for Geneva and <a href="https://www.hermesairports.com">https://www.hermesairports.com</a> for Pathos) but use aviationstack free account to get the schedule a rolling 3 months in advance &nbsp;&nbsp;<ul><li><a href="https://chatgpt.com/share/684f8ea5-7768-8004-9627-b77cddf8a50f">https://chatgpt.com/share/684f8ea5-7768-8004-9627-b77cddf8a50f</a></li></ul></li><li>On Tuesday, can you work on the scrapers for PFO and GVA?</li></ul>&nbsp;
