As it is with most other functions available on Google, it is very simple to add flight details to your Google Calendar. 

Your Google account settings may already have been set to create a calendar event any time a flight booking comes through your Gmail inbox, though you can quickly adjust your settings if they aren't already set to do it. 

You can also add flight information to your Google Calendar manually by creating an event for the flight.

Here is how to do it.

How to add flights to your Google Calendar automatically 

1. Log into your Google Calendar at https://calendar.google.com on your Mac or PC and click on the gear icon located in the top right, then click "Settings" from the dropdown menu.

2. Now scroll down until you see "Events from Gmail" in the toolbar on the left-hand side of the page.  

3. Check the box next to  "Automatically add events from Gmail to my calendar." Now your flights and other event details will start appearing on your Google Calendar automatically.

Turning off the "Events from Gmail" setting will erase all events automatically added in the past; turning it back on will not restore them, and will only allow the adding of future events.  Steven John/Business Insider

How to add a flight to your Google Calendar manually 

You can also manually add a flight to your Google Calendar.

Simply navigate to the date and time of the flight in your Google Calendar and tap on the time slot in question. Then you can copy and paste or type in the details of the flight as you would with any other event and then save the details.

To delete a flight detail, simply click on the time slot in your Google Calendar, and either hit the trash can logo on the top right corner of the window that pops up, or right click and select "Delete."
