Holiday weekends tend to make both departure and arrival windows slower than the raw route time suggests.

Time zone

Origin and destination are on the same clock, so arrival timing is easier to judge at a glance.

Temperature spread

9 degrees cooler at arrival

A meaningful temperature swing is a good cue to rethink layers, water, and how soon you want to arrive.
