Why use this tool?

Find the destination calendar date reached by an overnight flight with an entered duration and UTC-offset difference. The destination date may be earlier, the same or later than the departure date, depending on the entered duration and offset. Only the date is displayed; no live flight status is used.

How the calculation works

Arrival date = calendar date of departure clock + elapsed flight duration + destination-minus-departure UTC offset. The destination date may be earlier, the same or later than the departure date, depending on the entered duration and offset. Only the date is displayed; no live flight status is used. Calendar and clock values are used as entered, independently of the browser time zone. This is a fixed-offset model: named-zone rules, daylight-saving changes, leap seconds and live flight information are not applied automatically. Use offsets valid at the dates concerned. Clock results round the final instant to the nearest second; calendar results stay within years 0100–9999.

Example

Worked example: Departure Date & Time = "2026-10-12T23:30"; Flight Duration = "7 h 30 min"; Destination UTC Offset Minus Departure (hours) = 1. Result: 2026-10-13.

Practical tip

Enter the correct departure date and the destination-minus-departure sign, especially around midnight.
