[Feature] Auto-fill in more data when adding a flight

I have searched the existing feature requests to make sure this is not a duplicate request.

The feature

It would be nice if, when adding a new flight, AirTrail would fill in more data when searching for the flight number. Right now it doesn't really feel like it's helping very much.

What about looking for the next and previous flights with that flight number (or more, if it doesn't make make the UI too complex), letting the user choose between those, and then fill in everything it can for that specific flight. So at least the endpoints (which is what it fills in already), but also the dates and times, and even aircraft info if it's available. Also, since the user has to be signed in anyway, why not fill in the user automatically?

This is definitely a feature I'd love, but I haven't been able to find a free source for this information that is programmatically accessible. Any suggestions are appreciated.

This has been implemented in v2.6.0, albeit with a little extra setup and a 3rd party account.

Thank you and mange tak, seems to work wonderfully!
Don't know when my next flight is going to be, but testing it with fake flights looks good.
