Questions and Answers

[B][I]Firstly, thank you for taking the time to read this thread — I do appreciate it![/I][/B]

I just wanted to ask, as a London-based Brit looking to book an AA seat at around +331, [U][B]at what exact time of day US time[/B][/U] — and, I guess, at what [B]type[/B] of US time, e.g. [B][COLOR=#000066]Eastern[/COLOR][/B], [B][COLOR=#000066]Pacific[/COLOR][/B], etc.? [IMG]http://cdn.flyertalk.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG] — does AA advance there award calendar [B][I][COLOR=#ff0000]by one day[/COLOR][/I][/B] each day?

For instance, I know KrisFlyer’s calendar moves forward by one day at 00:00 GMT each day, so I just wondered if AA’s award calendar worked to an exact time of day as well?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! [IMG]http://cdn.flyertalk.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif[/IMG]

[B][I]Many thanks for reading once again![/I][/B]

It was USA Central time a few years ago but honestly I don’t know if that has changed. However, they do not necessarily release award space 11 months out – it can vary widely. If you subscribe to Expert Flyer you can set up alerts for email notification for when space opens up for your route and dates.

Many thanks indeed, Gia.

May I just ask: when you say Central time, is that to say, from recollection, that the AA calendar would advance one further day at [B]00:00am[/B] Central time (just for clarity)? Thanks for the tip re ExpertFlyer, too — very much appreciated. 🙂

Best wishes,

At 0:01am time in Dallas – six hours behind London.

Six hours behind London for [I]most [/I]of the year (including right now). It’s always confusing when the US goes on Daylight time before GB goes to BST in the spring and I think GB goes back to GMT before we go back to Standard time. Always causes confusion at work when we’re trying to schedule conference calls!

[B]Gia[/B] / [B]Mid South Skier[/B] — thanks a million! That is really useful and massively helpful. Hadn’t occurred to me at all about the daylight saving aspect, too, so another lesson learned. All the best for now, Simon. 😉
