That's why I put it in quotes. Although zulu means GMT, that is what I have heard more than one agent refer to it as when checking to see if I am canceling a reservation in time.

It is my understanding that a 24-hour timer starts when you book the reservation. But whether it is an actual zulu time stamp that is compared to current zulu time or a timer, the important point is that you only have exactly 24-hours to cancel, not till midnight the next day.
