Avoid 2am Amsterdam time and 3am Amsterdam time — only the other city is at work.

When the gap changes in the next twelve months

Sunday, October 25, 2026 — Seoul goes from 7 hours ahead of to 8 hours ahead of Amsterdam.
Sunday, March 28, 2027 — Seoul goes from 8 hours ahead of to 7 hours ahead of 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.

Thursday, September 24, 2026 — Chuseok — Seoul is off, Amsterdam is working.
Friday, September 25, 2026 — Chuseok — Seoul is off, Amsterdam is working.
Saturday, September 26, 2026 — Chuseok — Seoul is off, Amsterdam is working.
Monday, October 5, 2026 — National Foundation Day — Seoul is off, Amsterdam is working.
Friday, October 9, 2026 — Hangul Day — Seoul 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, Seoul is working.

With 2 shared working hours, Amsterdam and Seoul 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.
