Frequent flyers across the Atlantic know that flights from US to UK in the winter can often arrive 1hr+ early due to tailwinds. This is the case when ArrivedOK may think it is Right Place, Wrong Time situation as described here:

If you turn on your phone in the expected destination but 30+ minutes earlier than your scheduled time, ArrivedOKs will not be delivered and you’ll get an error message.

One of our users suggested a workaround for that issue: you just deliberately set your arrival time in ArrivedOK an hour earlier than your planned arrival. This way you can signal your recipients about your precise landing time.

Another thing you can do is postponing to turn on your mobile phone until your scheduled arrival time, though in that case your recipients will get their alerts later than you land. However, if you want to contact your driver automatically when you arrive, the first hint fits you better.
