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: Nassau uses the BSD ($) and Orlando uses the USD ($). Conversations can stay in English, which is official in both countries. Be careful behind the wheel: Nassau drives on the left, Orlando on the right.

Quick answers. Before you book the call.
What's the time difference between Nassau and Orlando?
Nassau and Orlando share the same offset (GMT-4), so there's no difference right now.
When's the best time to schedule a meeting?
There are 8 hours 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 Nassau from Orlando?
About 555 km as the crow flies (great-circle distance). A non-stop commercial flight cruises that in roughly 1h 9m, not counting airport time, winds, or routing around restricted airspace.
Can I send this meeting time as a calendar invite?
Yes. Pick a time on the slider above, open the meeting card, customize the title and duration, then download the .ics file. It imports cleanly into Google Calendar, Outlook, and Apple Calendar with the correct timezone attached.
What currency do Nassau and Orlando use?
Nassau uses the Bahamian dollar (BSD, $); Orlando uses the United States dollar (USD, $). Check the live rate before transferring money or paying with a card abroad — most banks add a 1–3 % FX margin on top of the mid-market rate.
How do I call Nassau from Orlando?
Dial the international prefix used by your carrier (often 011), then +1242, then the local number — drop any leading zero of the city or mobile code. For free calls, WhatsApp, Signal, and FaceTime work over Wi-Fi regardless of country code.
What language is spoken in Nassau and Orlando?
Both Bahamas and United States count English among their official languages, so business meetings often skip translation. Nassau also has no other official tongue; Orlando adds no other official tongue.
Do Nassau and Orlando drive on the same side of the road?
No. Bahamas drives on the left, United States on the right. If you're renting, expect a learning curve on the first day — especially at roundabouts and when judging the centre of the lane.
