| Jul 13, 2015 at 15:21 | comment | added | Ralph J♦ | @FreeMan Those planes go really fast heading to Chicago, but they sure slow down making the reverse trip -- which probably takes like over 20 times as long, right? (5 minutes vs 120+) Maybe it'd be faster to fly to Chicago but just drive back??? | |
| Jul 13, 2015 at 14:00 | comment | added | FreeMan | To your last point: the flight from KIND to KORD takes 5 minutes if you're looking at your ticket - Depart IND 06:00, Arrive ORD 06:05. However, IND is on Eastern Time (UTC-5), while ORD is on Central Time (UTC-6)*. It's handy to get there in 5 minutes, but not realistic. *NOTE: UTC offsets are for Standard/Winter time, Daylight-Savings/Summer time the offsets are -4 & -5 -- another reason to use Zulu. | |
