What does this tool do?

Arrival time is departure plus flight duration, shifted by the difference between the two time zones. This calculator shows the local arrival clock, the time-zone shift and the arrival time according to your home clock.

The Formula

Arrival local = Departure local − Origin UTC offset + Flight duration + Destination UTC offset

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the arrival day sometimes change?

Crossing several time zones plus a long flight can push the local clock past midnight. The calculator shows the day change so you do not book a connection on the wrong date.

How do I find the UTC offset for a city?

Search for the city time zone, or check the departure and arrival times on the ticket. Remember that offsets change with daylight saving in many countries.
