Missed flight

Pyxis

I think this illustrates beautifully the confusion it all causes!

Memo to self: never schedule anything for between 23:59 and 03:00 on any day!

Mr.Generous

There is definitely room for some confusion, airline should probably show check in time and date to make it perfectly clear. If a night club was open on Sundays until 2.am and you turned up Sunday evening and it was closed because Sun 2.am was long gone it would be an easy mistake to make. Its easy to blame the OP and If I book flights with his sort of time I always have a bit of a panic check at the time of booking to make sure I'm thinking about the right days. I doubt you'd get a full refund but some sort of gesture of goodwill might be possible.

Saturday midnight is 00.00 Saturday, the first minute of the new day, if it was the last minute of the day midnight would be displayed as 23:59, which it isn't.

Take your bank for example, many people (including me) are paid at midnight, I'm always paid at midnight on the first Tuesday in any month. So when I wake up on Tuesday morning the money has already been there for a few hours.

"In the 24-hour time notation, the day begins at midnight, 00:00."

No, Saturday midnight comes before Sunday.
Saturday night goes into Sunday morning.
You are describing Friday midnight which goes into Saturday morning.

No...midnight is but a moment, the day begins after midnight. That explains the use of the prefix mid. It's the point between days. so it's Friday midnight and then Saturday morning.
Do it your way and you will confuse a lot of people.

This is surely correct - Saturday midnight is in the middle of Saturday night, the mid-point of that night.
