Time Zone Converter Tips for Travelers

Overview

DST changes and half-hour offsets trip people up. Verify conversions before booking international calls.

Convert both the hour and the date. Daylight saving does not switch on the same weekend in every country.

How to use it

  1. Open World Clock.
  2. Add your home city first, then the offices or destinations you actually call.
  3. Keep Time Zone Converter or Meeting Planner for a second phase.

Good to know

Daylight saving does not change on the same weekend everywhere. Re-check the pair of cities in the week of a clock change.
