I was surprised there was no prememptive notification on Facebook or Twitter, but saw that there were also less posts from confused customers this time around, so maybe people have finally figured it out. 😉 (As noted, this is the easy one.) Spring Forward Day ends up not being a "technical problem" and no error message is shown - the passengers all check in just fine! ...and if enough people did that, the effect would be negligible relative to the others that did the same thing. I had suggested that this was the "easier one" since it at least makes some sense... check-in is at 24 hours hours prior to departure, as always. You just need to wait until that time frame arrives (which is one hour "later" on the clock.) In Spring, check-in is 23 hours prior to departure. This confuses anyone who tries to adjust, as is necessary in Fall. Trying to check-in 24 hours prior fails (one hour "earlier" per the clock). But if you don't adjust at all, or are just oblivious to the change, check-in works "normally," at the same time on the clock as departure, one day earlier. So maybe this one is actually the "easiest," since it doesn't really require any change in action by the flyer. The situation hasn't been helped over they years by confused or misinformed official posts. 😉 There's a lengthy discussion about this over at FlyerTalk: Daylight Saving Time.
