Time zone travel tips

✈️ Flight arrival math

For overnight flights east (e.g. NYC→London), you lose a night of sleep. Arrive at 7am London time feeling like 2am your time — plan a light day 1.

☀️ Jet lag is directional

Flying east is harder than west. Your body needs ~1 day per time zone crossed to adjust fully. A 9-hour difference = up to 9 days of full adjustment.

📅 Meeting planner rule

When scheduling calls across time zones, state times in BOTH zones: '3pm EST / 8pm GMT'. This eliminates confusion and shows respect for the other person.

📱 Keep your home clock

Many travelers keep their watch on home time during short trips (2-3 days) and only eat/sleep on local time. This prevents scheduling errors on quick business travel.

🌙 The half-zone trap

India (IST, UTC+5:30), Nepal (UTC+5:45), and Iran (UTC+3:30) use half-hour offsets. Always double-check — don't assume whole-hour differences.

🔁 Daylight saving confusion

The US and EU switch DST on different dates (US goes 2nd Sunday March, EU last Sunday March). For ~3 weeks, offsets shift by 1 hour from normal.

Daylight Saving Time reference

  • 🇺🇸 USA / Canada: Clocks spring forward 2nd Sunday March, fall back 1st Sunday November
  • 🇪🇺 Europe: Clocks spring forward last Sunday March, fall back last Sunday October
  • 🇦🇺 Australia: Opposite seasons — clocks go forward in October and back in April
  • 🚫 No DST: Japan, China, India, most of Africa, UAE, Singapore, Iceland
