30 (Default)
Recommended Departure Time
10:40
Total Lead Time
80 minutes (1.3 hrs)

How the Calculation Works

Subtracts travel time and safety buffer from desired arrival time.

Formula: Departure = Arrival - Travel Time - Buffer Time

Practical Worked Example

Given Inputs: Arrive 12:00 (50m drive + 30m buffer)

Calculated Output: Leave at 10:40

  1. 12:00 - 80 mins = 10:40.
