Have you had success with 2 time zones for the same event? I know there's a setting to enable it, but I haven't had success.

My fastmail calendar experiences:

- timezone support is great and an explicit feature. You can pick the time zone when adding events and there is a dropdown at the top to view the calendar in the respective selected timezone.

- you can scroll the calendar view flexibly and not just switch from month to month. You can for example scroll to see half of previous and half of current month. This fills me with so much joy and I can't understand why no one else does it.

- you can't give someone else write access to your calendar. This is my major gripe with it and the reason I'm still actually using the gmail calendar in the fastmail interface.

Does it allow to omit timezone for an event so it always shows at the same time? It drives me crazy when I plan a trip to a different timezone that Google always shifts the times when I am there.
Just had a quick look and you can do that. You can set the time zone as Floating Time and it will be independent from the time zone.
Yes but the question is whether you can have two timezones for the same event, such as for a flight across time zones. For Google Calendar this has been the case for awhile.
Nope, I don't see that option. There's only one timezone to select when adding a new event.
