Honestly, Tenerife is the travel cheat code for Brits. No time zone hopscotch. You fly for four hours, step off the plane, and your brain doesn’t scream “WHAT YEAR IS IT?”
You can text your mum at 7 PM her time, and it’s 8 PM your holiday time. She won’t panic. You won’t panic. It’s the most un-stressful thing since sliced bread.
It makes booking flights a breeze. A 7 AM flight from Gatwick? That lands at 12:00 PM local time. In your head, that’s 11:00 AM. You basically lost no day at all!

Watch Out for the “Virtual” Jet Lag
Here’s a funny trick. Even though the clocks are aligned, your body clock might wobble. The sun sets around 9:30 PM in summer there.
You’ll find yourself eating dinner at 10:30 PM local time. In your English brain, that’s 9:30 PM. “This is fine!” you think. Then you try to go to bed at 1:00 AM local (midnight back home).
The next morning, you wake up at 8 AM local (7 AM back home) feeling like a god. You did sleep in! Or did you? Messing with light is more powerful than messing with numbers.
