To maximize your cancellation window, book as close as possible to (but not before) 00::00 GMT. That’s when the cancellation deadline rolls over to the next day for all properties worldwide. Samoa gets the least amount of time (34 hrs) and Hawaii gets the most time (58 hrs) if you book at 00:00 GMT.
For example, when GMT is 00:00 about 3 hrs from now, it will be Feb 16 and the new cancellation deadline will be 23:59 Feb 17 for all properties. In Samoa, it will be 2 pm Feb 16, so cancellation deadline will be 34 hrs later. In Hawaii, it will be 2 pm Feb 15, and its cancellation deadline will be 58 hrs later.
