Default GPS Alarm clock suggestions?

I just got my first airline job and I don't want to rely on the hotel desk for my wake-up call. I want a GPS clock that switches as I change time zones. Any suggestions?

My seven year old flip phone works just fine. It changes time zones on its own.

+2. Let it hit the satellites and then switch it into airplane mode if you don't want any phone call/text roaming charges.

Get an iPhone. Just don't rely on it Jan 1-3 and you'll be fine.
