2. 11am in Amsterdam · 3pm in Bangalore — Comfortable mid-day slot on both sides
3. 9am in Amsterdam · 1pm in Bangalore — Right at the edge of someone's day

Avoid 5am Amsterdam time and 6am Amsterdam time — only the other city is at work.

When the gap changes in the next twelve months

Recurring meetings set as a fixed clock time in one city will move by an hour for the other on these dates.

Public holidays to avoid

Dates where one side is off work while the other is not are the most common cause of no-shows on this route.

Friday, December 25, 2026 — Christmas Day — Amsterdam is off, Bangalore is working.
Saturday, December 26, 2026 — St. Stephen's Day — Amsterdam is off, Bangalore is working.

With 5 shared working hours, Amsterdam and Bangalore can run standing meetings without anyone giving up an evening — as long as the slot sits inside that window on both sides of the next clock change.

Sending a booking link avoids the arithmetic entirely: each side picks a time in their own zone and both calendars get the correct local time, including after a daylight-saving change. See how LemCall handles cross-timezone bookings.
