Stupid question re: Time Difference

Hi, I know this is gonna sound stupid but I'm confused!! The clocks in the Uk go back tonight - does that mean that Tunisia will be two hours ahead of us?! The reason that I ask is because I'm flying out in November & my boyfriend is gonna meet me at the airport - my flight time is 3hrs 20mins, my ticket says I leave at 7.15am UK time & arrive in tunisia at 11.35 tunisia time, thats a total time of 4hrs 20mins which suggests Tunisia will be one hour ahead yet when I spoke to my boyfriend yesterday and I checked the time with him Tunisia is already one hour ahead!! Do the clocks go back in Tunisia too??

The clocks go back in Tunisia too, they will always be one hour ahead of UK! The flight time would be 3 hours 20 mins if you consider the time difference.

Thanks for clearing that up for me - I was getting so confused trying to work it out!! I've learnt something new today then, I thought it was only the UK that put their clocks back.

Nope, many countries do... like Sweden, where I am - we are always on Tunisian time! Although I believe Tunisia has only done this for 2 years or so.
