It's worth remembering that flight times, be it departure or arrival, are always given in local time, being the time wherever the plane is at the time whether taking off or landing.

I learned this lesson in 1997...after booking flights to Vegas from Cincinnati, I told my friend who was flying from LA to Vegas what time my flight would be landing so she could pick a flight that arrived about the same time. Thinking I was very smart I even converted my arrival time based on my departure timezone (3 hours ahead) and told her when I expected to be there and she booked her flight.

A couple of weeks later, somehow it came up in conversation...local time...thankfully, she was a good friend and didn't give me too hard a time about having to wait for me for 3 hours at LAS.
