When you cross the line between two time zones you usually re-set your watch forward or back one hour from its current setting. Set your watch back if you are traveling west, and set it ahead if traveling east. If you are on a flight that will bring you across several time zones, probably the better idea is to set your watch for the current time at your destination and get some rest. Also, get up frequently to stretch and exercise your legs-- don't neglect this. In addition, if you cross the International Date Line, change to the next day if going west, and go to the day before if going east. There are some places on earth where times differ between zones by 30 minutes and not by an hour. There are also places where the time zones do not geographically follow the theoretical or originally defined time zones.
