Latest planned arrival

National public holidays only, covering 2026-2027. Moon-dependent dates are marked approximate. Regional holidays and carrier-specific shutdowns are not included — confirm with your carrier before promising a date around a holiday. Dispatch uses the origin calendar; this conservative transit model skips listed holidays at both ends. Carrier-specific collection schedules, local holidays, strikes, routing and live disruptions are not modelled.
