This has been an issue on and off over the years, but I have never got a fully working solution. The problems occur mainly with flights from one time zone to another. I have a flight for which I enter the start and end times, both local to the airport. However, the destination is in a different time zone. On my iPhone. I have __Time Zone Overide__ turned off, and while in the destination city, I see 2 times for an event’s details: the local time and the time in the origin. However, I find that: - The time in the Event List shows only the origin time, not the local time. - The reminder alerts at the origin time and not the local time. This applies to other events which were set before the trip. The question is __What do I need to do to see event times and alerts in the local time?__ To complete the story, I add the event on my iMac and then rely on my iPhone to keep me informed. Latest version of all software. __Update__ I will be flying overseas in a few months, so I can put my possible solution to the test. I have set the time zone of the flights to floating, which seemed to work when flying interstate earlier. To be safe, I have also included the local times in the notes section so I can compare; I will also have the original tickets any way. A few years ago I was caught out by the time zone difference, but, fortunately I was early rather than late. __Update 2__ I have just come back from an overseas holiday, which involved two other time zones and daylight saving. I can safely say that setting _all_ times to floating has ensured that all times are local, and everything works as expected. I have taken to using floating times for all of my travel times, as well as for all of my automated events. What I need to do now is work our how to make it the default for other events.
