we have to tell family overseas all the time. Language is different and so are times. I generally do it by giving them the whole itin something like this:

14 mar 06 - 22 mar 06:
BOS-AMS-BOS
NW/KLM

(so the Dutch understand it)

14 mar 06
BOS
18:05hr
NW#38

+++

15 mar 06
07:45 hr
AMS

+++++++++++++

22 mar 06
AMS
14:05hr
NW #37

+++

22 mar 06
15:30hr
BOS


We told them on one occasion what it means in order... For example, my codes mean this:

14 mar 06 (is the date of flying out of...)
BOS (...which is the city where we leave from...)
18:05hr (...at this time...)
NW#38 (...on this flight.)

+++

15 mar 06 (is when we get there - due to time change...)
07:45 hr (...at this hour...)
AMS (...in this, the home airport for them.)

If it's an American, I change the times to non Euro/military but I still do the dates that way to be cool
