Los Angeles and Boston Time Difference

Best time for family calls

Scheduling a family call between Los Angeles and Boston takes a little planning. Los Angeles is 3 hours behind Boston, which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in Los Angeles — around 7 pm — which puts Boston at 10 pm. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
