GMT to AKST Converter

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

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

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

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

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

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

Alaska Time is approximately 4,450 miles north of Greenwich Mean Time.

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

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

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

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