    My wife and I are literally counting down the hours now until we leave on March 10th. Getting soooo close now! Decided to review our itinerary, to make sure everything was right, including making sure our pick-up time with USA Transfers was scheduled correctly. Our flight leaves Kansas City @ 10 AM and arrives in Cancun @ 12:10 PM (2 hrs 10 mn right?). Flight time according to Frontier is 3 hr 10 mn. HMMM:confused: Our return flight leaves @ 1:25 PM and lands in KC @ 5:47 PM (4 hr 22 mn). Flight time is 3 hr 22 mn. "Are we in a different time zone?" I ask Becky. "Nope, same time zone" she says. So, thinking something had to be mucked up, I started making phone calls. First to Expedia (they had no idea), then to Frontier Airlines. After being transferred 3x :banghead: , I finally get my answer. I'm sure some of you already know, but we had no idea. :huh:

    Daylight Savings Time (DST) begins in the US :usa1: on March 10th (day we leave). Cancun :mexicoflag: doesn't go to DST until April 7th, which accounts for my missing hour. Not a big deal, unless you're down there between March 10 and April 7 and forget to change your watch. Don't want you to miss your flight by an hour! :blueshock: I feel better now. Anyway, see you guys soon :aktion069: Save me a :beer4:

    Yes, the US and Canada change clocks on a different day to most of the rest of the World. It will make your flight times seem strange for the interim period.
