What I have gathered is that it is the scheduled day of departure that is the most important thing. This becomes *very* confusing for those of us departing form ANC where a 12:30 a.m. flight *cannot* be SDC'd to an 11:40 p.m. flight that is less than 1 hour earlier... But an 11:40 p.m. flight *can* be SDC'd to a 12:30 a.m. flight a full 23 hours and 10 minutes earlier...
