If you’d like to do the calculation yourself, this is the process to use, to calculate your arrival time, whatever your starting point or destination:
1. Set local time of departure 2. Convert time to UTC 3. Add flight times 4. Convert to local time of your arrival time zone
Here is an example for a flight from London to Nice, which departed on 4 August at 13:00. The client’s question was “If I take off at 1:00 pm from London, would I be on time to pick up my children from school at 5:00 pm in Nice?”
Depart from London (local time) 04/08 1300
Conversion to UTC -100
Departure from London (UTC) 04/08 1200
Flight duration +200
Arrival in Nice (UTC) 04/08 1400
Conversion to local time +200
Arrival in Nice (local time) 04/08 1600
