I've not really used my calendar when overseas so just want to make sure I'm not stuffing myself up :)

 

Have a trip booked next month to AU, and have added the ICS calendar offered by the airline into my Outlook, to show flights etc.  

 

Departure : All times showing correct in NZ time.

 

Return :  Times showing as NZ time (2hrs difference) - so departure time is 0900 AU time but shows in my calendar as 1100.

 

 

 

Now if I add a manual entry to my calendar via my iPhone while I'm in AU, will I be entering the AU time or NZ time ? So want to be somewhere 1000 AU time - do I enter it as 1000 or 1200 ? 

 

May seem obvious to some but my mind is full of other stuff at the moment :D

 

TIA

I'm not at my work computer (i.e. the one with Outlook) at the moment, but I believe there's a timezone field when setting up an appointment.

Doh... you're right :D 

 

OK, so that will probably solve my query then :D

There's a timezone field in both Outlook desktop and mobile. Just make sure to select the correct one for the event.

Both the Desktop & mobile version of Outlook will try & detect if your time zone has changed. It will then prompt you to display the calendar in the local time zone.

 

PS I think the Desktop version of Outlook does this based on the TZ selected for the PC. I don't think it changes based on location.
