| Vancouver | 11:00 | 
| Indianapolis | 4:00 | 
| Stockholm | 1:00 |

These departures are on time. What would happen if they weren't?
<spoiler>
About 2 mins into the video, there is a picture of a clock, but with the numbers 1 to 12 in the wrong places. at 12:00 there is a 9 at 1:00 there is a 6 at 2:00 there is a 4 at 3:00 there is a 11 at 4:00 there is a 8 at 5:00 there is a 12 at 6:00 there is a 3 at 7:00 there is a 5 at 8:00 there is a 10 at 9:00 there is a 7 at 10:00 there is a 1 at 11:00 there is a 2
ie:
      09
    02  06
  01      04
07          11
  10      08
    05  12
      03
This is simple to solve.  The first flight, to Casablanca, departs at 10:00.  On the modified clock, 1:00 appears in the 10:00 position, so use the first letter of the city, C.  
The second flight, to Milwaukee, departs at 7:00. On the modified clock, 5:00 appears in the 7:00 position, so use the fifth letter of the city, A.
Continue down the list of departures, converting the listed departure time using the modified clock to find the correct letter to use:
Casablanca 10:00 -> 01 => C
Milwaukee 7:00 -> 05 => A
St Petersburg 9:00 -> 07 => R
Mexico City 12:00 -> 09 => T
Rio de Janeiro 5:00 -> 12 => O
Bangalore 2:00 -> 04 => G
Johannesburg 3:00 -> 11 => R
Vancouver 11:00 -> 02 => A
Indianapolis 4:00 -> 08 => P
Stockholm 1:00 -> 06 => H
Buenos Aires 8:00 -> 10 => E
Bordeaux 6:00 -> 03 => R
The result:  C-A-R-T-O-G-R-A-P-H-E-R
