Word or phrase for departure/arrival (time + place)

Perhaps this is a silly question, but is there a common word/phrase/term which would describe a time + location tuple (time and place), for flights or maritime links?

I.e. say I have a flight defined as: Departure: Monday, 10:00 London, Arrival: Monday, 18:00 New York.

"Monday, 10:00"/"Monday, 18:00" are both departure/arrival times, "London"/"New York" are both departure/arrival ports or airports.

So, is there a phrase which would describe both "Monday, 10:00 London" and "Monday, 18:00 New York"?

Goal would be to be able to describe it as:

  • a route contains one or more connections
  • a connection has a single departure "?" and arrival "?"
  • a "?" is defined by a timestamp and airport

If there are any better terms for what I am describing above, I'd be grateful to hear them also.


I suggest juncture. I used it in context of modelling a software system for the term described in the question.

It is defined as a point in time and also as a place where things join.

You should check coordinates. Though the definition mentions space, you can add date+time as an additional coordinate (refer to the time coordinate example from ODO below).

M-W:

coordinate noun
1 a : any of a set of numbers used in specifying the location of a point on a line, on a surface, or in space
b : any one of a set of variables used in specifying the state of a substance or the motion of a particle or momentum

ODO:

coordinate (also co-ordinate) NOUN

1 Each of a group of numbers used to indicate the position of a point, line, or plane.

‘These were Newton's words when he used time as an important coordinate in the laws of mechanics that he described so accurately.’

‘The address becomes much more like a Social Security number than a street coordinate.’
