Arrival Time & Day-Night Calculator
Knowing whether you land at breakfast time or 3am changes everything — which facilities are open, whether to sleep, and how to handle jet lag. Enter your departure time, the flight length and the time-zone difference, and this calculator gives your local arrival time, the part of day you land in, and what that means for lounges, shops and transport. For a fuller arrival-time and jet-lag estimate across any route, try our sister site's time-change planner.
Local clock time only — it doesn't account for daylight-saving edge cases. Check your itinerary for the exact arrival time.
Three quick steps
- Enter your departure time. The local clock time your flight (or layover leg) departs.
- Add flight length and time change. The flight duration, and how many hours the destination is ahead of or behind your departure point.
- Read your arrival. See your local arrival time, whether it's morning, afternoon, evening or night, and what's likely open when you land.
Tool questions
How do I work out my arrival time across time zones?
Add the flight duration and the time-zone difference to your departure time. This calculator does it for you and also tells you whether you land in daylight — handy for planning lounges, transport and sleep.
Why does landing at night matter on a layover?
Late at night some shops, counters and transport options close, and a city visit may not be worth it — so a 24-hour lounge or an airside rest spot becomes the better plan. Our jet-lag planner uses the same idea.
