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 6 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.
