When I create a new trip, then end time of the last flight of the trip is always 1hr fast when its added to Outlook calendar.

Example:

Travel from home to destination 8a-10a
Travel from destination to home 8a-10a of the next day

when its added to the calendar the first flight will be correct, but the return flight will show up in Outlook as 8a-11a. Both home and destination are in the same timezone so that shouldn't be an issue.

To create the return flight I DID use the create return option when I set the first flight up.

Thanks for getting TT out. Maybe should have a beta first? lol

Is the arrival city in the same time zone as the departure city?

Yes it is.

I just tried this and it worked perfectly. Can you give me your exact information (e.g., time/date/city/airline and your current time zone)?

Thanks.

I am on Eastern time. My Computer stats are:

Windows XP SP2
Outlook 2003 SP3
TT 4.0 Build 122

The flights I created to use as a test are:

4/17 0800 - 1000 FWA - ATL on Delta
4/18 0800 - 1000 ATL - FWA on Delta

I think the timezone info might be wrong for FWA because I just checked it again and it adds to Outlook as follows:

4/17 0900 - 1000 FWA - ATL
4/18 0800 - 1100 ATL - FWA

I hadn't noticed the wrong starting time until just now, so it might be an incorrect city setup. Is there any way to check/edit city/timezone info in TT?

Thanks

I found the error. It is in the way the airport is set up. FWA was setup as Eastern Indiana time zone which doesn't observe DST. Most of Indiana has changed over now (including FWA) and does observe DST so I changed the timezone of the airport to Eastern Time and it works great now.
