Travel Arrival Time
Find your local arrival time after a flight accounting for time zones.
About Travel Arrival Time
Adding the flight duration and the destination time-zone offset to the departure hour gives the local arrival time. Wrapping past 24 hours reveals whether you land the same or the next calendar day. A long-haul flight crossing zones can arrive on a different day from departure, so computing local arrival prevents confusion about connections and pickups.
Formula
