Default Brain not functioning. Time zone confusion

Help, ive confused myself totally.

Im flying from London to San francisco, leave London at 11am and arrive at 1415hrs, Will this be the same day.

Confusing Virgin Atlantic e ticket doesnt provide arrival date with the time, only departure date. Air New Zealand putts both day and time on the ticket even if its on the same time.

I know I shouldnt even be leaving the house if I dont understand how the time zone thing works but Im unsure and now lost.

Any help would be great.

Really just want to know if I will be arriving on the same day.

Yep, you will arrive on the same day you leave London, as San Fran is approx 8 hrs behind Uk time.

Yup. You're going on an 11(ish) hour flight, SF is about 8 hours behind the UK so you'll get there 3 hours later in the day(if you see what I mean)
