Expanding the Model


Perhaps our definition of the entity Flight was not specific enough.

Is a Flight the connection between take-off and landing? Clearly not, because a Flight can continue on to additional destinations.

Is a Flight the itinerary I follow? No, as a passenger I may switch to another Flight or Airline.


There is a third concept here in addition to Flight and itinerary (which we have not tried to model). There is a section of a Flight between take-off and landing. Let's call it "Flight Segment".
