Clarification please. Would I be picking up a close friend or my mother-in-law?

The Trick
 
The question was what day so the answer is Monday. But I do agree with the comments about using noon and midnight for clear communication.

Let the Village Van figure it out. We're retired.

Time travel
 
1. It’s noon. Have a cocktail.

2. If the airport is 15 minutes away, wait until your passenger calls on arrival. Planes can arrive early or late. It will take the person 15 minutes to offload and make their way to the curb. Even private planes have to taxi and park. But really... if I was the one flying I would take a taxi and not inconvenience anyone.

2/ a/ You are asked to pick up someone at 12 AM on Tuesday June 30.
b/ The airport is 15 minutes away. What day is it when you leave the house?
I have no idea. Where are you? Are you in California and you're asking about New York? Then it would be 9 AM. If you're in London then maybe 6 PM. Now I have a headache so I'm going to take a nap. Next time just ask Alexa. Also, the second question makes no sense. The airport is 1 hour 20 minutes away, not 15 minutes. Who of us in our right minds drive to the airport in the middle of the night? And why would you be picking up someone who just got off an airplane? Haven't you heard of the Corona beer? I mean virus? It's probably 8 PM somewhere. I'm going to bed!

12PM and Monday

June 29 at 11:45 p.m. is the correct answer. 12:00 a.m is midnight. 12:00 p.m. is noon.

If someone wanted to get picked up at the airport at Midnight, I'd tell them to get a cab.

Monday

To make life easy, 12 AM is at night and 12 PM is daylight.
But EdFNJ was correct about the meridian line.
