Yeah, this is actually an issue we've encountered with Tripeedo.
As a UI element, the calendar widget seems clunky and outdated -- yet if you don't know the exact date of your travel, it's nice to have a visual prompt. So there are cases where text input alone might not be sufficient. The user might need or want more guidance.
It's a challenging task to try to integrate both input mechanisms at the same time. We're exploring it though.
