    Want to bet the 6th to 13th/7th to 14th is because it's setting a date with time component of midnight and then converting to or from UTC?

    By now I have learned about aircraft wet-leasing....

    Every time those bugs exist, it's always timezone related. If JavaScript is involved, parsing strings using hyphens vs. slashes will yield different results!

    @Jaloopa. The submitter said he was traveling to London. Maybe from elsewhere in the UK, but if from nearly anywhere else there's the probability of nonsense between the browser's time zone and London time.

    Because of daylight savings, London is an hour ahead of UTC in summer.

    I guess that could be it as my time zone is UTC+2 is UTC+1 (DST / summer) for London? Anyway, who would take browser time instead of London time... Erm, developers whose code we regularly see here!

    #3 is a fun one. Mokulele Airlines formerly operated under the IATA airline code MW. It was acquired by Southern Airways Express in 2019 and now operates under the 9X airline code instead. Meanwhile, Malta Air now uses the airline code MW.

    The Ryanair flight is being operated by Malta Air. Google Flights must be using a old version of the airline code database and is misinterpreting the MW airline code as Mokulele Airlines instead.

    In reply to Michael: On HP notebooks running Windows, there is a magic key combination that will rotate your display by 90 degrees. Arrow keys plus Alt plus something ... I hit this combination by accident, every few months. Since the last occurrence of that, my screen is off by only 90 degrees, and if I hit it again (still not knowing what it is), I will be able to put back my external display onto its stand on my desk. And get rid of the stiff neck... ;-)

    Intel integrated graphics, at least prior to 6th generation and possibly on newer devices if everything is updated, support the shortcut CTRL+ALT+<arrow key>, with the direction of the arrow key being the side of the monitor that will be treated as the top.

    There are two hard things in programming, naming, dates and off-by-one errors. Cleverly combining two of these together is a work of art.

    I can certainly understand that Friday events should sort before Thursday events, but why does the 6th sort before the 4th?

    You may need to stand on your head, though.
