Time Zone Comparison: Alaska vs. Finland

Alaska (AKST/AKDT) is behind Finland (EET/EEST):

• Standard time (winter): Alaska UTC−9, Finland UTC+2 → 11-hour gap. 9:00 AM Alaska = 8:00 PM Finland.
• Daylight time (summer): Alaska UTC−8 (AKDT), Finland UTC+3 (EEST) → 11-hour gap maintained. 9:00 AM Alaska = 8:00 PM Finland.

Finland is always 11 hours ahead of Alaska. (The original claim "Alaska ahead" was incorrect.)
