Are my flight times correct?
I fly from Merida, Mexico (MID) to Houston, Texas (IAH), then from Houston, Texas (IAH) to Jacksonville, Florida (JAX). The times are: (MID) to (IAH)-Depart Merida at 9:00AM, arrive in Houston at 11:12. Total flight time 2hr 12min. (IAH) to (JAX)-Depart Houston at 1:45PM arrive in Jacksonville at 4:43PM. Total flight time 1hr 58min. The flight from Houston to Jacksonville doesn't add up does it? Maybe the extra hour is for customs and all that stuff since I'm flying from Merida, Mexico to Houston, Texas? Maybe there is a time change?

Yes, you change time zones. Passenger schedules are given in local times.

All times on your ticket, departure and destination are local times. There is a joke about someone flying from Alabama to Texas who asked the clerk what time the flight took off. The answer 1 PM. He asked what time does it land. The answer 1 PM. He said I changed my mind. I'm not going. Is it all right if I stick around and watch that sucker take off.

Jacksonville is in a time zone that's one hour ahead of Houston, while Merida and Houston are in the same time zone. If your flight takes off at 1:45 and lasts for 2 hours, it will land at JAX at 4:45 but it will be 3:45 at IAH. Back in the 1980s I worked at the travel agency. One day we were writing tickets (they were still using paper tickets back then) for a guy going on one of those 7 stops in 5 days business trips. One leg of the trip had him going from Chicago to Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo, I forgot which, but the flight was really short, less than an hour, so on his itinerary it looked as if he would arrive before he actually took off.

It's a difference in time zones. Houston is Central time while Jacksonville is an hour ahead in Eastern time.
