Walked into the MH Dom lounge this morning at 930am to overhear this conversation (pax I later found out just arrived from LHR that morning)
Pax: I went to my gate and found out my plane (915am flight) had already departed. But I am surprised because I thought I had plenty of time
Lounge angel: makes a few calls, and confirms to the pax her flight had indeed departed
Pax: but why? I thought that domestic flights close much later to departure. And I thought I had plenty of time.
Pax: checks her watch and says - it is only 830am how can it have departed?
Lounge angel: no maam it is 930am now.
Pax: Oh! My watch is wrong then!
Think they are trying to rebook pax to a 1030am flight instead. Should be good.
Always pays to check the timezone when you arrive!
