Planning Calls and Arrivals
The table above is live, so it is the quickest way to check before you dial. Two things it will not tell you. A red-eye arrival is a scheduling decision as much as a flight choice: landing at 6am against a 3pm check-in makes a long first day, and paying for the previous night is usually the better trade. And jet lag is not symmetrical, so booking an arrival in the late afternoon local time gives you the shortest path to a normal night's sleep.
