Coordinating across time zones means converting local times to universal time (UTC). Eastern Daylight Time is UTC minus 4 hours, Central Daylight Time is UTC minus 5 hours. So 0945 in EDT is 13:45 UTC. Add the two-hour flight, and the arrival is 15:45 UTC, which is 1545Z. If you check in the destination’s local time (CDT), that would be 10:45 CDT, confirming the UTC result.
