Timestamp issues

Timestamps on some of my queries are from two days in the future.

Ex. I ran a query on [flight]UAL202[/flight]

I Got this


Flight CallSign: UAL202
stdClass Object
(
    [faFlightID] => UAL202-1402982182-airline-0012
    [ident] => UAL202
    [aircrafttype] => A320
    [filed_ete] => 05:13:00
    [filed_time] => 1402982182

Do not specify howMany=1 to FlightInfoEx. That will almost never return the flight you are actually interested in.

FlightInfoEx returns multiple flights for the ident that you specify, in chronological order starting with the furthest in the future and going backwards. You need to allow multiple results to be returned and evaluate the results to pick which flight your app is actually interested in.
