Time to put clocks back after midnight Saturday in Europe

Does this date coincide with the USA system? Just curious.

So be very careful when flying transatlantic during the transition period! Even though the arrival time may be the same, the departure time may not, and vice versa. Particularly relevant when catching separate (not booked-through)connections.

And Yay! I love this fall back weekend. Nothing like staying up late and then realizing it wasn't so late afterall.

I flew back from CDG to USA on Sun. morning a year ago and no problems with the time change. It was nice to have that extra hour in the morning in Paris.
