Daylight Savings Check In
Both me and my sister are travelling on AS flights tomorrow morning. Hers at 6, mine at 7:30. Despite it being past 7:30am today, the app won’t let me check in. I assume it is a daylight savings issue. Same for my sister. She wasn’t able to check in on the app until 7am (which is 24 hours from the fall back time tomorrow).
However I was able to check in via the mobile website in safari for my flight even though it’s still technically more than 24 hours.
Another fun quirk of the app in case anyone is trying to check in today.

Yeah, the whole system in the back end just uses Zulu time which doesn't have daylight savings, so in this window things will be wonky for an hour.
