Check arrival dates across time zones

An overnight journey can connect bookings on different calendar dates. Reconcile the displayed local dates before organising your arrival.

An overnight journey can connect bookings on different calendar dates. Reconcile the displayed local dates before organising your arrival.

  1. Write a separate line for each departure and arrival: place, date, local time and time zone. Copy any next-day marker from the confirmation instead of assuming arrival is the same day.
  2. Compare your arrival date with the first accommodation night, collection appointment and onward ticket. For an arrival after midnight, ask the property which booked night and access arrangement your intended arrival requires.
  3. Enter events in a calendar with their location's time zone, then inspect both the original confirmation and the calendar display. Check again if a transport schedule changes, especially around seasonal clock changes.

Keep local dates written beside times in your trip notes. A duration alone does not establish the booking date you need.
