What is the departure/arrival time indicated on the ticket?

Question

Accepted Answer

In brief

The ticket and itinerary receipt always show local time — i.e. the departure time in the local time of the city of departure and the arrival time in the local time of the city of arrival.

Example

Consider the flight Samara — Moscow:

Departure time 18:20 is shown in Samara local time.
Arrival time 19:10 is shown in Moscow local time.

Smarty's tip

Always check the time zone difference when planning connections or meeting someone at the arrival airport.
