What I actually get in $tempstr is everything from the first <flight

I would have expected preg_match to have matched from the first
<flight through
to the first </flight>.

You can also ask regexp to return the text up to but not including
the next '<':
#<flight [^<]+#
'<flight ' followed by one or more characters that aren't '<'.
