Hello, I was browsing the schedule and noticed that the times don't seem to be in military time. However, I searched for other flights and they came up in military time. Which format should I follow? Also, how do I know the flight departs at 10:00 am and not 10:00 pm? All the schedule says is that the flight departs at 4:30 ET. I am assuming that it means 4:30pm. Also, a flight departing at 10:00 ET could depart at 10:00am or 10:00pm. I was just curious. Thanks

There is a big difference between local and zulu (GMT) times so consider the times listed as local for that departure airport regardless if its in 24 hour format or not. Cuts down on the confusion. There's not a lot of red eye except for international flights which leave late at night to arrive at the destination in the AM.

No, most US carriers don't list their flights referenced to the 24 day (military time, etc...). But the flight schedule on the Delta site does list the times as AM and PM. This is the site that I use for Delta flights.
