Here’s a brain-bender: New York is in the Eastern Time Zone. Seattle is in the Pacific Time Zone.
That’s a three-hour difference. If you leave NYC at noon, you’ll arrive in Seattle at what feels like 9 AM to your body.
You’ll lose an entire afternoon. It’s like you’re a time traveler, but with more coffee stops.
But when you fly back? You gain three hours. You leave Seattle at 6 PM and land in NYC at 1 AM feeling like you just beat the system. Score.
