Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Lahore uses the PKR (₨) and Kingston uses the JMD ($). Conversations can stay in English, which is official in both countries. Cars drive on the left in both, so rentals feel familiar.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Lahore and Kingston?
Lahore is 10 hours behind Kingston. Lahore runs on GMT+5 and Kingston on GMT-5. 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?
Standard 09:00–17:00 workdays don't intersect. Most teams compromise with one side meeting early (before 09:00) or late (after 17:00).
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 Lahore from Kingston?
About 13,704 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 16h 37m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.

What currency do Lahore and Kingston use?
