AKST to CET Converter

Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Alaska Time and Central European Time don't overlap on the same weekday. Central European Time is 10 hours ahead of Alaska Time.

With some flexibility, there’s a workable window outside standard hours:

• 7 AM–10 AM in Alaska Time (5 PM–8 PM in Central European Time) — suggest 8:00 AM Alaska Time (6:00 PM Central European Time).

This means an early start or late finish for one side, but it’s a reasonable slot for a one-off meeting.

Alaska Time is also known as AKST, or AKDT. To call United States, dial +1.

Central European Time is also known as CET, or CEST. To call France, dial +33.

Central European Time is approximately 4,700 miles north of Alaska Time.

Both zones observe daylight saving time, but they transition on different dates.

Alaska Time: next transition on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

Central European Time: next transition on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

For approximately 7 days between transitions, the offset between Alaska Time and Central European Time differs from its typical value. Recurring meetings during this window will shift by one hour.

See the daylight saving time page for transition dates across every time zone.
