Difference
2 h

You fly east and lose 2 h. On arrival your body clock reads 2 h behind local time — eastward trips take a little longer to adjust to.

Offsets shift through the year because countries start and end daylight saving on different dates. The figures above use each country’s current offset, so they stay correct as the seasons change.
