Overnight flight arrivals

How Tern handles overnight flights and multi-leg itineraries to ensure arrival blocks appear on the correct day for advisors and clients.

Overnight Flight Arrivals ensures that when a flight lands on a different day than it departs, the arrival block shows on the correct day β€” in your view, on the client itinerary, and in the itinerary PDF.


What it does

For any flight that crosses midnight, Tern splits the display so the arrival appears on the actual landing date. This applies to single flights and to individual legs of a multi-leg itinerary. Clients see the same correct layout on the web itinerary, in the PDF download, and in the Tern traveler app.


How it works

Single flights

When you add a flight that departs on one day and arrives on another, the arrival block automatically appears on the arrival date. The flight is still one object β€” it just displays across the correct days.

Multi-leg flights

If your flight has multiple legs, you need to set it to display as separate legs for each leg's arrival to show individually. If the itinerary is set to display as a single block, only one combined block will appear and overnight arrivals will not be broken out.

To enable this:

  1. Open the flight in your itinerary.

  2. Toggle "Display as separate legs" directly on the flight. Each leg will now show as its own block.

  3. Overnight arrival blocks will appear on the correct day for each leg.


Existing trips

If you had trips created before this feature launched, the arrival block will already be reflected automatically. Review how it looks, then click Publish so your clients see the updated itinerary.


Traveler app

Overnight arrival blocks are supported in the Tern traveler app as long as your client has the latest version installed. If they're on an older version, the arrival block won't appear β€” but the flight itself will display correctly and won't look broken.


Common issues

Arrival block isn't showing on a multi-leg flight Check whether the flight is set to display as a single block. If so, toggle it to display as separate legs and the arrival blocks will appear.

Still not showing correctly after checking the above Reach out to Tern support and we'll help you sort it out.
