Pass additional properties to an EditorTemplate

How do I pass some additional properties to an EditorTemplate?

I want to use it like this (kind of pseudo code):

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.ReturnFlight, new { additionalViewData = new { FlightType = FlightType.Return } })
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.OutboundFlight, new { additionalViewData = new { FlightType = FlightType.Outbound } })

FlightTemplate:

<h1>FLight @Model.FlightNumber</h1>
@if(FlightType == FlightType.Outbound)
{
    // Display stuff for outbound flights
}
else if(FlightType == FlightType.Return)
{
    // Display stuff for return flights
}
@Form.TextboxFor(m => m.Destination)

You pretty much have it already - you can pass additional view data in exactly this way, using this overload. You just need to use it in your editor template. Remember values in the ViewData dictionary are also available in the dynamic ViewBag object.

@Html.EditorFor(m => m.ReturnFlight, new { FlightType = FlightType.Return })
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.OutboundFlight, new { FlightType = FlightType.Outbound })

FlightTemplate

<h1>Flight @Model.FlightNumber</h1>
@if(ViewBag.FlightType == FlightType.Outbound)
{
    // Display stuff for outbound flights
}
else if(ViewBag.FlightType == FlightType.Return)
{
    // Display stuff for return flights
}
@Form.TextboxFor(m => m.Destination)
