Best times to propose

1. 5pm in Amsterdam · 9am in Mexico City — Right at the edge of someone's day

Avoid 12am Amsterdam time and 1am Amsterdam time — only the other city is at work.

When the gap changes in the next twelve months

Sunday, October 25, 2026 — Mexico City goes from 8 hours behind to 7 hours behind Amsterdam.
Sunday, March 28, 2027 — Mexico City goes from 7 hours behind to 8 hours behind Amsterdam.

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.

Monday, November 16, 2026 — Revolution Day — Mexico City is off, Amsterdam is working.
Friday, December 25, 2026 — Christmas Day and Christmas Day; both cities are off.
Saturday, December 26, 2026 — St. Stephen's Day — Amsterdam is off, Mexico City is working.

With 1 shared working hours, Amsterdam and Mexico City 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.
