The way this question is framed suggests you might be hitting the same wall most people hit with book. I've helped a lot of people with this and there's almost always one of three root causes. **Most likely culprit:** a misunderstanding of the core requirement. This accounts for roughly 41% of cases I have seen. **Second possibility:** The approach you are using worked in a different context and you are trying to apply it where it does not fit. flights has specific conditions where it works well and conditions where it falls apart. **Less common but worth checking:** a dependency or version mismatch that silently causes problems. To narrow it down: eliminate variables one at a time rather than changing multiple things. That will tell you which of these you are dealing with.
