I don't know exactly when, but I've just been asked to return my flight documents to have them amended as Tunisia is putting their clocks forward an hour soon. As last year, they don't believe in giving a lot of warning! Last time they changed on the day I was due to fly home and even the rep didn't know

In TUNISIA Summertime has started today, 26th of March and finishes the 29th of October 2006.

Very kind regards from the Netherlands !

Thanks Pittie - I'll probably catch the October change-over again but at least I won't be caught out this year.

Do you think i should ring my agent and check my tickets are ok, knowing my luck something will go wrong at the airport,lol :oops:

If your ticket shows it takes about 4 hours to get there and 2 hours to get back you are OK.:lol: It will have been issued when it was already known that UK would have moved into Summer time - (the flight is about 3 hours) Tunisia is always an hour ahead of BST so if both countries change their clocks the difference will be the same.

My mum and dad are there at the moment there is 1 hour difference, we were there last june it is unbarabley hot around the 40 mark, i am a sun worshipper and don`t normally move from morning till night apart from getting in the water however i had to sit in the shade from about 11.30 till 3 you won`t even need to get dried as by the time you walk from the pool to your sunbed you are dry take pleanty of sun lotion have a fab time.

On the subject of sun lotion , anyone going inbetween June and August . remember to take as much lotion as you can. yull get through it in no time . and to buy it in Tunisia is very very expensive .

I can usually get away with a 10 . but i use a 25 when i first get there .. the sun just burns you .

Tunisia will be putting their clocks ahead another hour in June, this added hour will be here to stay.

Whatever are they playing at? :roll:

That will put them 2 hours ahead of us for at least part of the year. Do you know when they are going to put them back by 1 hour again? I only hope they manage to get the message across to travel agents etc. this time - I had to send my tickets back to be altered when they went forward this year and last October they did it on the day I was due to fly back and no-one seemed to know what was going on :roll:

What the hell is this thread all about?!

Im confused, on one of the Sky channels they had a bit on Tunisia and they said it is on GMT all year then I hear they go to BST now I hear they just fancy putting another hour on and will be GMT + 2 (BST+1)??

I am going on the 3rd june abck on the 10th June, anyone know what time zone they will be on by the time we get there?!

i went in 3 travel agents today and they all told me that they are not putting the clocks forward again from 29th march til 29th october they wil be 1 hour ahead of GMT and from 29th october they will be the same as GMT so where did the person that put they were going forward again that this information from because my fiance who is tunisian dont know anythin about this .

Unfortunately, just because the Tunisians themselves don't know anything about it doesn't mean that it ain't necessarily so, as I discovered the first time they started playing with their clocks without warning the locals (or tour operators) and some people nearly missed their flights. :roll:

I think several of us will be awaiting developments with bated breath :lol:

Sorry for the confusion. I spoke to the head Thomson rep in tunisia today, and they have only just been told and everything is abit up in the air at the moment. I live in Tunisia and was told by a few of the locals. Also an english couple I know who speak fluent arabic told me they had read about it in the paper last week. Thomsons said they are waiting for confirmation before they let people know,

I am just relaying the information I have heard. Hopefully it will all be confirmed soon!
