Best time for work calls
If you are scheduling a call between Auckland and Chicago, the overlap window is limited to typical business hours. When it is 9 am in Auckland it is 4 pm in Chicago — a workable window for scheduling. The latest reasonable overlap is around 10 am in Auckland (5 pm in Chicago). Outside this window there is effectively no good overlap for regular office hours.
Best time for family calls
Scheduling a family call between Auckland and Chicago takes a little planning. Auckland is 17 hours ahead of Chicago, which means there's no window that feels comfortable for everyone at the same time. The most manageable option is early evening in Auckland — around 7 pm — which puts Chicago at 2 am. Someone will need to stretch a little, but at least no one's setting a middle-of-the-night alarm. Weekends tend to give the most flexibility if you can agree on a time in advance.
