MAN-bound flights are the slower direction by about 35 minutes in our estimate: the route runs mostly east–west through latitudes where the prevailing westerly winds at cruise height are strong, so heading east rides a tailwind and heading west fights a headwind. How we estimate it.

Time zones and jet lag

MANEurope/London — UTC+0 now; UTC+0 standard time, UTC+1 during daylight saving time
AYTEurope/Istanbul — UTC+3 now; UTC+3 all year (no daylight saving time)
DifferenceAntalya is 3 hours ahead of Manchester today; +3 h in January and +2 h in July because daylight saving time starts and ends on different dates (or not at all).

Jet lag, flying MAN → AYT. Your body clock has to move 3 hours earlier, like an eastward trip. A common rule of thumb is that the body clock adjusts by roughly one time zone a day, so expect up to about 3 days to fully adjust. Shifting earlier (as here) is usually the harder direction; morning daylight at the destination helps. Flying the other way, the shift is reversed.
