What's your ETA?

Hi everyone, ETA is an acronym that stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. You pronounce it E - T - A. It comes from the military and so is most often used by men. You might hear an airline pilot use it.

Good morning passengers, this is Flight 2304 to Munich our ETA is 2:30PM local time.

It is a useful acronym for text messages or online chats.

My ETA's 10 minutes from now.

Our ETA's around 4PM.

Any questions?

Phil
