BTW is the Tuesday OLC deadline midnight utc or midnight local??



Local time at the landing place, according to their website.



I think it really may be midnight standard time on the East Coast. I
know someone who submitted just after 8 pm PDT on a Tuesday, and they
were told they had missed the deadline. Makes sense, as I doubt if the
OLC software is sophisticated enough to figure local time form the
location of the flight.

Just hope that your flight of a lifetime does not end on a Monday
evening in a sparse section of Nevada where you can't get to an internet
connection before the next evening.


It'd be even worse if it ended on a Tuesday evening, wouldn't it? But,
we may be OK: according to their data, I submitted a flight claim on
June 8, 2005, at 5:30 UTC. That's Wednesday morning UTC, but Tuesday
evening on June 7 at 10:30 pm for Washington State, an hour and half
past midnight on the East Coast.

OLC seem very responsive to problems, so I'm guessing you could email
them about being denied a submission done before midnight at the landing
place, and get it corrected.
