Scheduling Across GST and AKST
For professionals scheduling meetings between GST and AKST, finding overlapping business hours is essential. Standard business hours are typically 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM in each time zone. Given the 13 hours difference, the window of overlap may be limited, making early morning or late evening calls necessary for one party.

Daylight Saving Time Considerations
GST does not observe Daylight Saving Time, maintaining UTC+4 year-round. AKST observes DST, switching to AKDT (UTC-8). During DST transitions, the time difference between these zones may temporarily change by 1 hour. Always verify the current offset during spring and fall transition periods.
