How to read time of flight for Emirates airline?
First of all, I'm a solo traveller and this is my first time. I decided to book a flight online (eticket) with Emirates.com. I'm confused on how to read the time of the flight so for example:
The time as shown for this flight (BAH to AKL) is 3:45 and the time appears to be in 24-hour format. Now, Does 3:45 here mean (the local time for BAH airport) which is 3:45 AM in 12-hour format?
What about arriving time in which time zone will it be?
I tried to look for an answer in emirates.com. Still nervous and confused, but I'm trying my best not to get lost.

How do you read flight timings?
Understanding 24-Hour TimeOnce you hit 1 p.m., a 12-hour clock would start over from 1, but the 24-hour clock keeps going. So just subtract 12 from the number to get the evening time. For example, if the time listed is 14:00, it actually means 14 - 12 = 2:00 p.m.How do I know if my flight time is AM or PM?
To convert from 24-hour time, the general rule of thumb is to subtract 12 hours and then add AM or PM, whichever is relevant. If the clock reads 20:00, subtract 12 to arrive at 8:00. Since 20:00 falls between the afternoon/evening hours, it would warrant the PM label. So, 20:00 converts to 8:00 pm.What does +1 mean on flight time?
It means that the flight arrives next day. For example if the flight departs on 22:00, 20th of AUG and arrives on 05:00, 21st of AUG, then the (+1) will be shown to indicate that the arrival is next day. This usually happens in eastbound flights.How do I read my flight booking?
