Flight Duration and Time Zone Calculations

The video tutorial addresses a common problem of calculating flight durations across time zones. It uses a real-world example of flights between San Francisco and New York, explaining how to adjust for time zone differences and calculate the duration of each flight. The tutorial demonstrates the use of timelines and military time to simplify the calculations, ultimately determining which flight is longer.
