The clocks are changing this weekend: here's what it means for flights and journeys

"The clocks change on Sunday 29 March 2026 at 1am, moving forward to 2am, resulting in an hour less sleep and longer evening daylight."

"The hour between 1am and 2am on Sunday disappears, potentially impacting overnight bus, coach, and train schedules, leading to possible rescheduling or skipped services."

"Travelers should ensure manual clocks are adjusted before sleeping on Saturday night, as phone clocks will change automatically, reducing the risk of missing important morning transport."

"The time change can be confusing for flights, especially when crossing time zones, as not all countries change their clocks at the same time or at all."

On 29 March 2026, the UK will change to British Summer Time at 1am, moving clocks forward to 2am. This results in an hour less sleep and can affect travel plans, particularly for overnight buses, coaches, and trains. Travelers may miss early morning transport due to grogginess. Manual clocks need adjustment, while phone clocks update automatically. The time change can also complicate flight schedules, especially when crossing time zones, as not all countries observe Daylight Saving Time simultaneously.
