Arrive

Hi teachers! I know we say arrive at for places and arrive in for countries and cities, but is it possible to say arrive into? |

It�s generally considered to be obsolete nowadays, although I believe the notion of a baby arriving "into" the world was still common in the 18th century (just an FYI in case you�re thinking of writing a historical novel  ). |

It�s used a lot in the context of aeroplanes landing: We will arrive into Frankfurt at 15:30 local time. |

Yeah, I�m sure I�ve heard that once or twice too. Possibly insisted on by airlines who like to think of their planes as �babies�  . EDIT: And a friend just told me she heard it several times on trains down in deepest Englandshire.

Mainly, we arrive at, a you say, but we pull into, where trains are concerned. �Pulling into Glasgow Central in a few minutes.� Or We�ll be pulling into...and by the way, that construction is becoming more and more prevalent, rather then the simple future.
