Why people convert BST to Anchorage time
- Scheduling a call from BST to Anchorage: a 10:00 AM start in BST lands at 1:00 AM in Anchorage, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
- Handling a -9h gap: BST and Anchorage have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Anchorage is 12:00 AM in BST.
- Coordinating a BST-based team with Anchorage contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.
- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM BST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -9h gap is not.
- With a -9h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week BST takes the early slot, the next week Anchorage does.
- Anchorage: Clocks fall back on Sun, Nov 1, 2026. Any meeting series spanning that date will shift by an hour in local time.
About BST (British Summer Time)
British Summer Time (BST) is the daylight saving period in the United Kingdom, when clocks move one hour forward from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+00:00) to UTC+01:00. It runs from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all follow it, along with the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands of Jersey and Guernsey. During BST, London is one hour ahead of UTC, four hours ahead of New York on Eastern Daylight Time, and five hours ahead of New York once the United States returns to Eastern Standard Time in November. BST is also used to abbreviate Bangladesh Standard Time (UTC+06:00), which is listed separately on this site.
About AKST (Alaska Standard Time)
Alaska Standard Time (AKST) is used in nearly all of Alaska. Due to Alaska's vast geographic size, the Aleutian Islands use Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time instead. During summer months, Alaska switches to Alaska Daylight Time (AKDT, UTC-08:00).
