Enter your departure date and time, flight duration, and the time zone difference to your destination to find your local arrival time.
This tool adds the flight duration to your departure time, then applies the time zone difference between departure and destination to give a local arrival time and date, accounting for any day change.

How It Works
This tool adds the flight duration to your departure time, then applies the time zone difference between departure and destination to give a local arrival time and date, accounting for any day change.
How to Use This Tool
- Enter your departure date and local departure time.
- Enter the flight duration in hours (decimals are fine, like 8.5 for 8 hours 30 minutes).
- Enter the destination’s time zone offset minus the departure time zone’s offset (a positive number if the destination is ahead).
- Click Calculate to see your local arrival date and time.
You will need to know the time zone difference in advance; a quick web search for both cities’ current UTC offsets makes this easy to fill in.
Did You Know?
- Flying east typically feels like it “loses” hours locally (arriving later in the day than expected), while flying west can feel like it “gains” hours, purely due to crossing time zones.
- Some long-haul flights cross the International Date Line, which can make a flight appear to arrive the day before it departed, from the calendar’s perspective.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if the destination is behind my departure time zone?
Enter a negative number for the time zone difference (for example, -3 if the destination is 3 hours behind).
Does this account for daylight saving time?
Only if you build it into the time zone difference you enter; the tool itself does not look up DST automatically.
