Flight Timing Confusion

Hello

I am wondering if you guys can help me with something that's been confusing me for days!

I am traveling on the 28th March on VS5 from LHR - MIA

We depart at 12.25 and arrive in Miami at 18.20.

However, if you go on the same flight the week after it arrives at 17:00.

The flight time is 9 hours 30 as apposed to 9hours 55 minutes but it doesn't explain the hour difference?

Does anyone has any ideas why there is this difference?

Thanks
Zjc

I think it may be to do with British Summer Time starting on 30th March.

I thought this also but if you look at the vs5 flights departing before my flight they all leave at 12:25 and arrive at 17:20

It just seems to be the two weeks prior when the flight arrives an hour later.

Do American clocks change different to british?
