In general, +2 would mean that the flight arrives 2 days after departure. This is not uncommon especially when you're crossing the international date line where you lose a day whilst in flight. eg, flights from San Francisco to Australia always land 2 days after they depart - despite only being a ~15 hour flight.

When you see a "+2" next to the arrival time on a flight itinerary, it indicates that the flight is scheduled to land two days after its initial departure date. This occurs most frequently on ultra-long-haul journeys that cross the International Date Line (IDL) while traveling eastward, or on flights that depart very late at night and include multiple layovers. For example, a flight leaving Sydney late on a Monday might arrive in New York on Wednesday morning. In 2026, as airlines push the limits of "Project Sunrise" and other non-stop routes, these multi-day indicators are vital for travelers to correctly book hotels and ground transportation. It is a common "rookie mistake" to book a hotel for the same day you leave, only to realize the "+2" means you won't actually arrive until 48 hours later. Always double-check the calendar dates on your confirmation to ensure your accommodations align with the local arrival time and date at your final destination.
