9 time zones crossed flying east — roughly 9 days to adjust
Flying east is generally harder to adjust to than flying west. Getting daylight exposure at your destination and avoiding caffeine close to bedtime can help.

This tool provides a general idea based on the number of time zones crossed and the direction you're traveling in, though it's important to note that this is not personalized medical advice.
