Estimate zone change and recovery days from platform time-zone data. Not medical advice.
Heuristic, not medical advice
5 recovery days
eastbound shift of 5 hours (UTC-05:00 → UTC+00:00).
Elapsed flight time 420 minutes, from platform time-zone offsets only.
Assumptions
- Offsets come from the platform IANA time-zone database via Intl. No invented zone rules.
- Eastbound recovery days = ceil(hours). Westbound = ceil(0.5 × hours). This is a heuristic.
- A spring-forward wall time that does not exist is rejected.
- This is not medical advice and not a generic time-zone converter.
