Flight time confusion/question
If I see a flight that says leaving Friday 5/18/2012 at 12:20am
Is that effectively Thursday night (Friday early EARLY morning 12:20am)? -
or
is that Friday night (saturday early morning)?

Don't need to overthink it. 
Friday 5/18/2012 at 12:20am means just that - 20 min after midnight on 5/18. (So basically the "Thursday night" example you gave.)
Thankfully these days I can rely on my cellphone to tell me what time zone I'm in and how much longer I have until my flight.
