Your departure plan

A worked example

For an 8.30 AM arrival, 20 minutes of travel, and a 10-minute buffer, leave at 8.00 AM. Allow 30 minutes to get ready and start at 7.30 AM.

What the calculation assumes

The planner subtracts the minutes you enter from a local clock time. It does not estimate traffic, walking speed, school opening times, or public transit. Crossing midnight shows a previous-day label.

Set a realistic buffer

Include the walk from parking, handover, and any queue you usually encounter. Recheck the plan when the route or arrival time changes.
