$ mix flights

The program will ask some questions and fetch the data, you will see something like this:

Type the departure airport code (default: FLN):
> FLN

Type the arrival airport code (default: URG):
> URG

Type the start departure date in ISO 8601 format (YYYY-MM-DD) (default: 2022-10-23):
> 2022-10-23
