Slot bookings will come out the weekend prior to the event. We ask that you book a slot if you are planning to fly, these slot times will also help you stay within ATC coverage for your entire flight.

Arrival Airports: KSFO, KSEA, PANC

...Depart Asia in the morning, and reach the West Coast of the United States by the evening...

Jut double-checking on the event description... Using Time and Date . com (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20210320T190000&p1=1440&p2=248&p3=224&p4=286), 0900Z would be 6:00 p.m. local in Tokyo, rather than morning. Estimating a 10-hour flight, that would put us in San Francisco at 12 noon, rather than evening.

That's correct. It would be a morning departure by U.S. time, with the first departure going out around 0900 zulu. A 10 hour flight would put them in SFO at 1900Z, or 1400 Eastern. The last arrival will arrive before 2300Z, or 1800 Eastern. Sorry, the times can get a bit confusing with so many different time zones to consider.

Oops, sorry for the confusion. I was a bit rushed when writing the description. The times are correct, just my interpretation of them is not

No probs, it all makes sense now. I've put it in my calendar and I hope I get a slot. I'll be watching for the sign-ups.

We are working on finalizing the booking website this weekend. We are running a little behind, but the website should be functional by the end of the day tomorrow. We will announce when you are able to book slots!

[Maxim Salikhov]

The booking site is fixed and available for you! Go find a slot for yourself and book!

EDIT: So the website broke! Thanks for your enthusiasm, we're working on getting it back up!

[Maxim Salikhov]

We are back up! Hopefully this does not happen again.
