◊ common questions

Quick answers. Before you book the call.

What's the time difference between Lagos and San José?

Lagos is 7 hours behind San José. Lagos runs on GMT+1 and San José on GMT-6. The gap can shift by an hour when either side enters or leaves daylight saving — the live clocks above always reflect the current offset.

When's the best time to schedule a meeting?

There are 1 hour where both cities are inside a 09:00–17:00 workday. Aim for the middle of that window so neither side is starting or closing out.

Does daylight saving time change the difference?

Yes, if either city observes DST. When one side shifts and the other doesn't, the gap changes by one hour. The DST badges under each clock show whether each zone is currently shifted and when the next transition lands.

How far is Lagos from San José?

About 9,607 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 11h 48m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.

Can I send this meeting time as a calendar invite?
