With the changeover at 0200 this morning for NSW, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria to daylight saving, one would hope that every person in Australia religiously wound forward their clocks, watches (and if required) devices.

However I've always noticed on this once a year occasion in the southeastern states that one in 100 are an hour late for church - or that sort of thing that runs to a timetable.

This morning at Melbourne Airport, JQ has some flights late, but there's no obvious pattern.

Did any AFFers traipsing around the nation by air (or other modes) today notice any latecomers, or did any AFFer sleep in despite having a flight to catch?

What was the attitude of check in staff to your tardiness?

The dreaded 0500 hours flights from BNE south have now commenced. Are these less popular during daylight saving because Queenslanders don't want to have to rise at 0330 to catch the 'earlybird?'
 
I think with a lot of smart phones automatically doing the change - the issue is not as great as it once was.

I know my Iphone is both my watch and alarm clock, and just so accustom to it switching time zones and time by itself as soon as you land/switch it on, or daylight savings coming along. Likewise my laptop/pc time clock does the same.
