In iOS 8, this type of complexity is no longer necessary. When adding an event, there is now a timezone field at the start time. Select the timezone of the event and Apple Calendar will do the appropriate calculations. In fact, I schedule flights with different timezones for departure and arrival times (start and end), and Calendar automatically calculates properly.
