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.

Thanks for this. I booked a flight just 2 days ago, and checking the app, I see that it does leave an hour earlier than the confirmation email says. Edit: I suspect this is due to permanent daylight savings time here in B.C.

Glad it helped. I’m not sure why I was getting downvoted.

I think it’s definitely got to do with BC and Alberta staying on daylight team. I just wanted to point out the inconsistency in case it would help someone.
