Calendar time zone for airline flights

Apple calendar has always made sense to me on iPhone/iPad- i.e. I can enter the time zone for the departure and arrival of airline flights separately. Windows does the same. But I'm new to MacBook Pro (Monterey 12), which only allows one place to enter a time zone. This seems bizarre to me, what am I doing wrong?

Different time zone for start and end date in macOS Ventura Calendar It used to be possible in Calendar to use different time zones for the start and end date of an event. For example, a flight taking off in time zone A and landing in time zone B could be entered exactly as it would be on a ticket, with the start and end times given in the respective local time zones. In the Month view, Calendar would then automatically show the times in the local time zone the Mac was set to, but when clicking on the event it would display it as it was entered, i.e. with the local times and info on what time zone (for example, for a flight from Melbourne to Hong Kong it would say something like "starts: 2:00pm (GMT+10), "ends: 9:20pm (GMT+8)"). Is there a way to enter events with start and end times specified in different time zones in macOS Ventura? Time zone support allows me to enter the event in a different time zone, but it seems that the start and end time always have to be specified in the same time zone, thus making it impossible to match my Calendar to flight itineraries and boarding passes.

Entering iCal events for travel to another time zone When entering time for event when traveling to Hawaii do I enter the event in my current time zone where I am now, and will it automatically change when I travel to Hawaii? Should I have “time zone override’ toggle turned on my iPhone, and should I have time zone turned on my iMac at home as I enter the events? I was trying to make sure my flight info is going to be correct when I travel over several time zones. Also I have excursions planned for while in Hawaii but I want to go ahead and enter them now on my calendar. I am in the EDT zone. Thanks!

If you enable Time Zone support, you set the Time Zone you are in.

You can enter events in other zones, but they will appear in the time zone selected.

When you change Time Zones, you change the zone in the Toolbar. It will then show everything in that time zone.
