Can I add my Itinerary to the calendar app on my phone, tablet or computer?

Yes. Clicking the “Subscribe to Your Itinerary Calendar” button should allow you to subscribe automatically using the default calendar app for the device. For example, on a Mac or iPhone, it will add it to the Calendar app. On an Android device, it will default to the Google Calendar. In Windows, it will most likely default to Outlook.

To add a feed to a particular application manually, you’ll first want to right-click the “Subscribe to Your Itinerary Calendar” button and select “Copy Link Address.” Then, you can follow the steps below:

Outlook:

• Go to: https://outlook.office.com/calendar/addcalendar
• Click “Subscribe from web”
• Paste the URL that was copied above (and select a name and color)
• The calendar feed should now appear in the Calendar screen in Outlook (though you may need to select the radio button next to it to enable the events)

Gmail/Google Calendar:

• Go to: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/
• Click the plus next to “Other calendars” and select “From URL”
• Paste the URL that was copied above and select “Add Calendar”
• Click the left arrow next to Settings in the top-right corner to exit Settings and return to the calendar
• If you’d like to change the name or color, you can click the dots next to the calendar in the left menu and adjust its “Settings”

MacOS Calendar:

• Go to File > New Calendar Subscription and paste the URL that was copied above
• Adjust the name, color, etc., as needed, and I would recommend using “Every hour” for the auto-refresh

I just have a question. Who can help me?
