Arrival Time Calculator

How this is calculated

The flight duration is the same great-circle estimate used by the flight time calculator: the shortest possible path between the two airports' coordinates, a typical cruise speed, and a flat allowance for taxi, takeoff, climb, and descent. It is not a schedule, real flights follow published airways and get rerouted around weather and traffic, so treat the arrival time as a solid ballpark, not a boarding-pass guarantee.

The local arrival time comes from converting your departure time to a single moment in UTC, adding the estimated duration, then reading that moment back on the destination's clock, using each airport's IANA time zone. Because you gave a specific calendar date, this correctly picks up whichever daylight saving rule applies on that date at both ends. The one edge case: if the departure falls inside the hour a clock actually springs forward or falls back, the local offset can be ambiguous by up to an hour. That's rare, and worth knowing rather than worrying about.

If the time change leaves you wide awake at 3am, our jet lag calculator can build a recovery plan for the same route.

Assumes a cruise speed of 485 knots (~900 km/h, typical for a long-haul jet) and a fixed 30-minute allowance for taxi, climb, and descent. Distance uses each airport's published coordinates.
