I wonder if there’s any way to get the time zone of an airport according to the return epoch date.
For example, I wish to know the departure time and arrival time of delta flight as given in the picture below.
using the API I get the following result:
{“AirlineFlightSchedulesResult”:{“next_offset”:-1,“data”:{“ident”:“DAL8728”,“actual_ident”:“AFR76”,“departuretime”:1414084200,“arrivaltime”:1414125600,“origin”:“LFPG”,“destination”:“KLAX”,“aircrafttype”:“B772”,“meal_service”:“First: Dinner / Business: Dinner / Economy: Dinner”,“seats_cabin_first”:4,“seats_cabin_business”:49,“seats_cabin_coach”:194}]}}
converting the epoch time I get:
1414084200 = Thu Oct 23 13:10:00 EDT 2014
1414125600 = Fri Oct 24 00:40:00 EDT 2014
My question:
- The epoch result are in EDT, how to ‘convert’ them to the airport time zone time (I wish to have the result exactly like in the photo below). I checked the AirportInfo but it just return result such as “timezone”:“:Europe/Paris” (no good)
- the timezone in LAX may be -7 or -8 (winter or summer) so how can I make sure the conversion factor the daylight issue.
thanks!
