How to add a flight booked by someone else to Google calendar that includes tracking?

Question

I'd like to keep track of the flights some friends and family are making.

When I book for myself, the flight gets added to Calendar, from the booking confirmation in my mail. It is also tracked. If there are changes to the flight (e.g. cancelled, delayed), I get an update.

Is there any way to add other peoples flights to my calendar in the same way, without having the booking confirmation?

You can manually add flights to Google through their trips website. https://www.google.com/travel/trips

You have to create a new trip then add a flight and enter your flight details. I've been looking for this all day and I finally found it. So hopefully it helps.
