iOS 11 auto time zone problem

I travel internationally extensively for work. I have always had my iPhone Time Zone set to "Set Automatically." When I arrive at my destination and connect to the WiFi, the iPhone correctly set the time.


However, since iOS 11, now when I turn my phone to Airplane Mode when I go to bed, the time zone reverts to my home time zone. This caused me to miss an alarm that I set!!! Please fix this!!

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.1.1

Actually no, the time zone is updating, but it strangely reverts back to my home time zone when in Airplane Mode. This bug was introduced when I updated to iOS 11. I'm hoping it gets fixed in 11.1. If not I'll try reinstalling iOS as you suggested.
