[Feature Request] Better flight data visulisation

[chazragg]

When creating flight bookings, it would be nice to have the following features

• The airport codes are linked to places that are then shown on the plan map with a travel line between them.
• Start and end times are reflected in the airport's time zones. Flight times could be displayed on the travel line

I've been working on this, I have a branch that check flights via API, take the airport codes and convert them into places and creates like a timeline on the plan... but is still in a very early development stage

Do you use the Google Places API? I believe they have something to help with that, and it's already in TREK, so it'd be less friction than other ways of doing.

Shipped in #706. Flight bookings now link airports automatically, draw them on the trip map and expose the timing on the line.

• Airport codes are resolved via an embedded OurAirports database (~3 200 commercial airports, offline, no external API call per lookup)
• The selected airport fills in IATA + lat/lng + IANA timezone, which means "local" start and end times follow the airport's timezone automatically
• Flights render as a geodesic arc with a stats badge on the line showing FRA → HND · 11h 35m · 9 375 km (duration is correct across timezone transitions); the badge follows the visible part of the line when you pan/zoom
• Existing flights with metadata.departure_airport / arrival_airport are backfilled on server startup; anything that can't be auto-matched is flagged with a needs_review badge on the card
• To @Ivan-Malinovski's concern on Places API cost: no Google Places hits are introduced by this feature — airport data is fully local.
