Introduction
Creating a travel itinerary doesn't have to be complicated. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through every step of using Flighter.app's free itinerary generator to create a professional document that's perfect for visa applications, travel planning, or sharing with loved ones.
Before You Begin
Before generating your itinerary, gather these details:
- Your departure city and airport (if you know it)
- Your destination city
- Preferred travel dates (departure and return)
- Any stopover cities if you're planning a multi-city trip
- Approximate time preferences for flights (morning, afternoon, evening)
Having this information ready will make the process even faster and smoother.
Step 1: Access the Free Itinerary Generator
Navigate to Flighter.app and locate the itinerary generator tool. You'll immediately notice how clean and uncluttered the interface is - this is by design. We believe that travel planning should be stress-free, starting from the very first click.
No registration is required for basic use, which means you can start creating your itinerary immediately without filling out lengthy forms or verifying email addresses.
Step 2: Enter Your Departure Information
Start by selecting your departure city. Our system includes airports worldwide, so whether you're leaving from New York, Mumbai, London, or Tokyo, you'll find your airport in our database.
The search function is intuitive - simply start typing your city name, and relevant airports will appear. You can search by city name, airport name, or even airport code if you know it.
Step 3: Choose Your Destination
Next, enter your destination using the same easy search function. For multi-city trips, you can add multiple destinations in sequence, creating a complete journey map.
The system automatically suggests popular routes and provides helpful information about each destination, including typical flight durations and time zone differences.
Step 4: Select Your Travel Dates
Choose your departure date using our calendar interface. The calendar clearly shows available dates and helps you plan around weekends or holidays if needed.
For round-trip itineraries, select your return date as well. The system intelligently prevents you from selecting invalid date combinations, ensuring your itinerary is always logical and realistic.
Step 5: Customize Your Flight Preferences
This is where our tool really shines. You can specify:
- Preference for direct flights or willingness to accept connections
- Preferred airlines (or no preference)
- Time of day preferences
- Class of travel (economy, business, first class)
These customizations ensure your itinerary reflects your actual travel intentions, which is particularly important for visa applications where consistency matters.
Step 6: Review Flight Options
Once you've entered all your information, our system generates realistic flight options based on actual airline routes and schedules. Review these options and select the flights that best match your plans.
Each option includes comprehensive details: departure and arrival times, flight duration, aircraft type, and layover information for connecting flights.
Step 7: Generate Your Itinerary
After selecting your flights, click the generate button. Within seconds, our system creates a professionally formatted itinerary document that includes:
- Complete flight details with confirmation numbers
- Passenger information
- Departure and arrival times in both local time zones
- Terminal information where applicable
- Total journey duration
- Booking reference numbers
Step 8: Download and Save
Your itinerary is generated as a PDF document that you can immediately download. The PDF is formatted to print perfectly on standard paper sizes and displays correctly on all devices.
We recommend downloading multiple copies and saving them in different locations - your computer, phone, and cloud storage - so you always have access when needed.
Step 9: Verify All Details
Before using your itinerary for visa applications, carefully review all information for accuracy:
- Check that dates are correct
- Verify that names are spelled exactly as they appear in your passport
- Ensure departure and arrival cities match your travel plans
- Confirm that the itinerary timeline is realistic and logical
Step 10: Use Your Itinerary
Your completed itinerary is now ready to use. Print it for visa applications, email it to travel companions, or keep the digital version on your phone for easy reference during your trip planning.
