Flight schedule visualizer as a learning tool for beginners

Flights

Flights is a flight schedule visualizer to be used as a learning tool for beginner programmers. It will be written in Python and simply print a flight schedule to the console.

Flight data will be read in from a .csv file and then displayed in a nicely formatted table that adapts to the given data.

This project should serve as a decent introduction to the principles of MVC.

Data format

The flight data is stored in a .csv (comma-separated) file with the following columns:

Airline, Flight, Arrives, Departs, Fare

Flights program

The flights program should run in the terminal and display the flight data in a neatly formatted table with headers for each column. The program should also offer the user a basic menu where they can choose what to display:

• List of all flights in order by airline and flight number
• List of all flights in order by departure time
• List of all flights within a given time range
• Flight with the lowest fare
• Average fare of a given airline

The program should continue running until the user chooses to quit it.
