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


for each destination you take the letter (ignoring spaces) corresponding to the departure time
Stockholm 1:00 -> 06 => H


i.e the casablanca plane departs at 10:00 so you take the first letter, which is C.
Buenos Aires 8:00 -> 10 => E


these letters then spell 'CARTOGRAPHER'
Bordeaux 6:00 -> 03 => R
 
 
The result:  C-A-R-T-O-G-R-A-P-H-E-R

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
