How to set a countdown time zone

Set the place before comparing clock times

Use the event organizer's confirmed local time. Choose a location-based zone instead of guessing from an abbreviation or your current phone location.

1. Open the countdown's editor and expand Optional timing and place.
2. Enable Include a target time for an exact booking.
3. Enter the booking's local date and time.
4. Open Time zone and choose the zone for the event's place.
5. Save and inspect the full event details.
6. When traveling, compare that saved event moment with the provider's schedule.

Do not convert the same time twice

If you enter a ticket's local airport time and select the airport's zone, the app has the context needed. Converting that time to your home zone first, then still selecting the airport's zone, describes a different moment.

Review the countdown after a schedule change

Daylight-saving changes can make elapsed hours differ from calendar days. Use date-only for an occasion where the clock is irrelevant. For a booking, confirm the provider's current schedule and review the countdown when the departure date or location changes.

A departure abroad while your phone is at home

A ticket for 9.00 in Lisbon should use the departure's local time and Lisbon's zone. Do not first convert to your home clock and still select Lisbon. That describes a different moment. The local clock you see while traveling can change without changing the booking.
