Mac calendar - how to add flights that depart/arrive in different timezones

Does anyone know how to add flights that depart and arrive in different time zones to a Mac calendar?

For example:

I am adding a flight from Sydney to Doha. Flight departs at 9pm Sydney time on 13 June, arrives in Doha at 5am 14 June. If I add this to the calendar, it shows up as an 8 hour flight arriving at 5am next day in the Sydney timezone however its actually a 14 hour flight landing in a different time zone.

Does anyone know how a work around for this?

Thanks in advance!

A couple of options:

On your Mac calendar create a start event, change the time zone, and add an end event (two separate events). You'll need time zone support enabled (Settings > Advanced).

On your Mac calendar add one event with the start and end time translated using your current timezone. Then if the time zone changes, the event time changes

On an iDevice: Add the start time and date (which will be based on your current location). Then, add the end time and date and choose a different time zone (from the options provided).
