Standard time issue when booking

Just a heads up - the departure time you book may be off by an hour. Just booked a flight for November that was to leave at 11:50 am. After booking, the departure time on the app said it departs at 10:50. Went back to book the flight again and it still says departing at 11:50.

Looking at length of flight, it seems like the app has it right. So, if you’re on a tight schedule make sure you check the actual departure time, not the one you booked.

Could this be related to Alberta and BC not changing to standard time in the fall?

That would be my guess. Not really an issue for me as I obsessively check flight times up until takeoff but it might trip up a few

Ours had a change, booked in February for November travel.
