Why the same route can change

A fixed offset is often wrong for future planning. New York and London, for example, usually differ by five hours, but the gap can briefly change when the United States and the United Kingdom switch daylight-saving time on different dates.

Route pages keep the comparison tied to a selected date and to place-based IANA zones, so the result can follow local daylight-saving rules instead of relying on a memorized offset.

Planning checks that prevent mistakes

  • Confirm the exact calendar date before sharing a meeting time.
  • Use city names or IANA zones instead of ambiguous abbreviations like CST or IST.
  • Check both origin and destination when a route crosses daylight-saving seasons.

Time difference questions

Why does the difference change?

Daylight-saving changes can happen on different dates, and some places do not change clocks at all.

Which labels are safest?

City names and IANA zones are safer than short abbreviations because they include local date rules.

Can a route be changed?

Each route opens as a starting point; the comparison can be adjusted for another date, time, or place.
