AKST to GMT Converter

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

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

• 7 AM–11 AM in Alaska Time (4 PM–8 PM in Greenwich Mean Time) — suggest 9:00 AM Alaska Time (6:00 PM Greenwich Mean 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.

Greenwich Mean Time is also known as GMT, or BST. To call United Kingdom, dial +44.

Greenwich Mean Time is approximately 4,450 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.

Greenwich Mean Time: next transition on Sunday, October 25, 2026.

For approximately 7 days between transitions, the offset between Alaska Time and Greenwich Mean 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.
