Default Booked my flight

After many weeks of fretting over what to go for, I finally went ahead and just bought it.

£473 to Prince George. Departing 11th April and returning 19th July.

Can't wait

I'm just trying to work out the time difference now in relation to when I'll be landing and whatnot.

I'm not sure if my itinerary has UK or Canada times on it. Probably UK, I imagine.

Times will be local times.

So, if it says 11.00 take off Heathrow, it'll be GMT. (UK)
If it says 18.00 landing, it'll be 6pm local Canadian time and so on.

So don't worry about it!

BC will be UK - 8hrs. I imagine your intinery will have 'local time' on it. So UK time for departure, local for any stopover (whereever local is) and local for final destination.

I'm not totally sure with this one. I think all the times are GMT.

I'll post them, see what you guys think:


Depart London UK - 08:30 Wed

Arrive Toronto - 11:05 Wed

Depart Toronto - 19:00 Wed (7h55 stop-over duration, yuck)

Arrive Vancouver - 21:00 Wed

Depart Vancouver - 22:15 Wed

Arrive Prince George - 23:20 Wed



Those times all look based on GMT to me. But then, I really don't know how long each flight is going to take.

Never mind. I'm being stupid. Why the heck would they put the times for another country in.

These times look local to me. You will land at Toronto 1105 hours, this will be the east coast time. You will take off local time 1900 (Toronto) and land at local time in Vancouver. If it was all GMT you would just get confused! I hope I haven't added to that!

Enjoy yourself. What are you going to be doing? Holiday or looking for work?

I think they're local time for instance flight time London to Toronto is approx 8hrs so 8.30 flight will arrive Toronto at 4.30 London time less 5hr time difference gives 11.30 Toronto time.

Thanks for your help people who replied

A holiday in Vancouver for 3 months! You lucky so and so (see didn't swear, I'm a good boy Bliiiiiing).

Well have a good time and stop worrying about stuff and get on with enjoying yourself. I'd give my right arm, feet, pancreas and entire digestive system to be in your shoes right now (would be dead before that happened but you know what I mean).
Oh and gi....nah won't go down there...
