Most of Arizona has no Daylight Savings Time.

So in practice:

Hawaiian Standard Time = Arizona MST time + 3 hours
8:00 HST = 11:00 MST
8:00 MST = 5:00 HST

Alaska Daylight Time = Arizona MST time + 1 hours
8:00 ADT = 9:00 MST
8:00 MST = 7:00 ADT

Pacific Daylight Time = Arizona MST time
8:00 PDT = 8:00 MST
8:00 MST = 8:00 PDT

Mountain Daylight Time = Arizona MST time - 1 hour
8:00 MDT = 7:00 MST
8:00 MST = 9:00 MDT

Central Daylight Time = Arizona MST time - 2 hours
8:00 CDT = 6:00 MST
8:00 MST = 10:00 CDT

Eastern Daylight Time = Arizona MST time - 3 hours
8:00 EDT = 5:00 MST
8:00 MST = 11:00 EDT

EUROPE
Central Europe Daylight Time Time = Arizona MST time - 7 hours
Amsterdam/Paris/Brussels/Berlin
8:00 CEDT = 1:00 MST
8:00 MST = 17:00 CEDT

With any luck, when you get off the plane the stewardess will tell you what the local time is. For planning purposes, early morning (the best time of the desert day!) will be less early for Easterners.

There is an exception to the "No Daylight Savings Time." The Navajo Nation (Naabeehó Dine'é), in the Four Corners, is spread across three states. Therefore, it does practice Daylight Savings Time to keep everybody in the nation on the same clock.

Anyone visiting from Europe, Africa, Asia or Australia who would like to share their time?
