Could you say, « À quelle heure est-ce qu'on arrive ? »
When do we get there?

When do we get there?
Bonjour Tom,
If the question had specifically asked for "What time" then, yes, the answer would have been "À quelle heure est-ce qu'on arrive ?".
Also, in this context (i.e. children asking when they'll arrive at their destination), French children/teenagers would use "quand" instead of "à quelle heure". It is that go-to-expression they use ! (Believe me, I have done it plenty of times as a child ;-) )
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
Hi Tom,
Given that the present tense can be used for future events then I agree, but your earlier question used the future for a similar point. So for this question, both present and future could be employed in my opinion.
Bonne journée
Jim
