My friend booked one international flight with departure and destination having 12+ hours timezones difference. The email listed the departure time & duration of journey and arrival time, all in local times (as expected). Gmail auto creates an event about flights and hotel bookings, and thus shows the correct departure time, duration & then that AI simply added that duration to departure, and showed departure city's time flight lands. Wrong. My friend, no blame, believed it; until I pointed it out.
- couchand 5y agoi'm confused, what's wrong there? event starts at departure time and goes for duration. the arrival time is correct, and can be reported in any time zone.
- davchana 5y agoSorry for not being detailed in my comment. Or i might have butchered. I will simply explain with numbers. Email said, flight departs 31st March 9pm. Flight duration 15 hours. Flight reaches Apr 1st. 9pm. No indication of timezones, but as super common in flights, all times are local. Both cities have about 12 hour difference. Google thought Departure 31st March (correct); Duration 15 hours (correct). Arrival Apr 2nd, 12pm. (Not correct, it added 15 hours duration to Arrival city time. Apr 1 9pm + 15 hours = this).
