I wanted to fly KLM from São Paulo - Guarulhos to Poznań with KLM through Amsterdam. They offer this connection only on one day, 29th of October. Both connections run every day though so it does not make sense. I could fly through CDG and AMS but why can I not just fly directy to AMS? It's been bothering me for ages now.

The connection is KL792 from Brazil to Amsterdam and KL1273 from Amsterdam to Poznań.

Does anybody know why is it this way?

Daylight Savings Time change in the Netherlands .

Turns out the timing is awkward: the flight from GRU comes in at 11:45 and the one to POZ leaves at 12:10. That's not enough time to make it the same day, and taking the next day flight creates a 24+ hour layover, which the website probably doesn't allow you to book (but can be potentially booked on the phone or with an OTA).

On the night of 10/29 to 10/30, the Netherlands switches back to standard time. You gain an hour and the GRU flight comes in at 10:40. That's early enough to make the connection
