I got an email from my colleague about our business itinerary containing flight confirmation as a PDF attachment. Turns out Google can detect that it's a flight confirmation.
When I search 'itinerary' in Google it shows something like this.
My question is, is there a way to add this info to my Google Calendar? (I want the flight schedule to be shown in my Sunrise app in my iPhone)

To add any email event to your Google Calendar...
Web mail version:
Open the web version email, Click on the "More" icon (3 vertical dots to the right of the "Labels" icon) in the Top toolbar menu, then select "Create event".
Make sure you are clicking on the GMail "More" icon above and not the "more" (3 dots) inside the Email header.
Mobile version:
ONE TIME: Open Settings in the Mobile Calendar app. Open "Events from Gmail". Turn this setting ON for your email address. Set visibility if applicable.
Sometimes Gmail copies all the event details you need into the calendar event description.
Depending upon how well Gmail reads the PDF file (or email), you may have to copy / paste the details from the original to the Calendar event.
