It's not what you're asking for, but timezones in calendar exports, at least, are supported. I'm planning an upcoming trip to London, so I make a "London trip" heading in my schedule.org file, and add a TIMEZONE property with "Europe/London" as the value. It doesn't work in the agenda (the agenda would require quite a bit more work to support it), but when I export to my caldav server the TZ is set properly and it shows up right on my phone, etc. That's something, anyway...

In principle, it is possible to extend org to handle time zones. The challenges are a) somebody stepping up to do it and b) doing it in an upwards compatible way to avoid breaking all existing org documents. -- Eric S Fraga via Emacs 27.0.50, Org release_9.2.6-544-gd215c3
DST and appointments in other timezones
Hello world, I have appointments that are scheduled on timezones other than my computer's. Does org-mode support setting that? It looks like timestamps don't support adding a timezone, so I'm wondering whether there's a reasonable way to use s-expressions in timestamps for this? Well, ideally org-mode could be adapted to support timestamps in arbitrary timezones, but I guess there are reasons why that's not supported? Cheers, and huge thanks to all the devs and people who answer questions like these! Leo
