Convert hours and minutes using 60 minutes per hour. A 24-hour time identifies a clock reading; elapsed time is a duration. When crossing midnight, track the date as well as the time.
Example
A flight leaves City A at 22:40 on Monday and lasts 7 hours 35 minutes. On A time it arrives at 06:15 Tuesday. City B is 3 hours behind A, so the local arrival is 03:15 Tuesday.
For a reverse problem, first express departure and arrival in the same time zone, then subtract. A later local clock reading does not by itself measure flight time. Use the time-zone difference stated in the question.
