How do I stop airline apps showing flights in the wrong date after crossing the date line?

Our answer

Use the departure airport’s local date/time and official flight number; crossing the date line makes phone-local calendar dates misleading.

Why this approach makes sense

Travel, transport and payment providers use different rules. The correct answer comes from the actual booking, provider and transaction.

Before you try it

Check the operator’s current conditions and keep any relevant receipt or confirmation.
