It’s based on midnight release in the Delta system so any change depends on the relative difference between UK time and the US time zone (Eastern) that Delta adheres to. This year Eastern Standard Time (EST) changes to Eastern Daylight Time (EDT) – +1 hour – on Sunday, March 10th. GMT doesn’t change to BST until March 30th and in those few weeks UK is only 4 hours ahead, so that implies a 4 a.m. call to nab seats! It then goes back to 5 once BST kicks in.
