            return true
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)

    }

Answer 2

Your intent is not formatted correctly. This is how it's supposed to be:

Intent (this, YourActivity::class.java)

So your code should look like this:

when (item.itemId) {
    R.id.flightarrbeforbgw ->{
        this.startActivity(Intent(this,FlightsArrivelBeforBGW::class.java))
        return true
    }
    else -> super.onOptionsItemSelected(item)
}
