Booking System Development Tracking & Suggestions

This issue tracks the development of the Booking System (introduced in PR #4172) and serves as a place for suggestions and feedback rather than clogging up a Pull Request.

---

✅ Current Functionality

• Convert member_id → member names
• Display booking times in Zulu (UTC)
• Display Mentor/Examiner Name in tooltip
• Display Accepted Date in tooltip
• Confirm reliable data sourcing from CTS
• Display Users' Local Time and Zulu Time
• Automatically remove past bookings based on Zulu time
• Show Old Bookings
• Explore Options of displaying bookings in the Local Timezone rather than Zulu (Toggle on)
• Fix tests so my emails do not get spammed
• Fix Seminar hover info

---

🚀 Planned Next Steps

• Speak to the Tech Team about making this live to get feedback without the ability to book slots. (forgot to do this but PR is ready for review

🚀 Planned Next Steps in separate PR

• Pull Events from https://events.vatsim.uk/ and potentially remove them from the CTS database
• Implement full booking capability directly from the main site

💡 Suggestions & Feedback

Please use this issue to share ideas, feature requests, or improvements you’d like to see in the Booking System. Examples:

• Additional metadata that would be useful in tooltips
• Filtering or sorting options (by airport, controller, date, etc.)
• UI/UX improvements
• Integration ideas with other systems (e.g., notifications, Discord, calendar sync)

I'd like to see local time displayed as well somewhere.

[MrAdder]

@kristiankunc Local time is now all implemented.

Now, do I work on moving bookings to Core or leave them in CTS for the time being?

[kristiankunc]

I'll discuss it and get back to you
