In Brazil, 'horário de chegada' is extensively used in travel, logistics, healthcare, and business contexts. Brazilians often use 'horário' (schedule/time) more formally, while colloquially saying 'que horas você chega?' (what time are you arriving?). In the USA, this term is standard across all transportation and appointment scheduling contexts, with ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) being commonly abbreviated.
