Difference
2 h

You fly west and gain 2 h. On arrival your body clock reads 2 h ahead of local time — westward trips are usually easier to shake off.

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.
