Jim
Portuguese translation:A que horas o avião chega?
Explanation:
Hi Jim,

I imagine you want to know the time you have to be at the airport to pick somebody up not the day you should be at the airport. In this case, the most natural and colloquial translation is A que horas o avião chega.

"ºñÇà±â°¡ ¾ðÁ¦ µµÂøÇմϱî?"


Explanation:
I hope this phrase is questioning.
Then the proper translation would be "ºñÇà±â°¡ ¾ðÁ¦ µµÂøÇÏ´ÂÁö¿ä?" or "ºñÇà±â°¡ ¾ðÁ¦ µµÂøÇմϱî?"

Hope this will help...

agree  Sonia Almeida: In European Portuguese this is the correct way to say it

  -> In Portugal and in Brazil. It`s a formal way to say it, and, as Kim is translating, it is better to use it. We can use: Quando vai chegar o avião? or Quando o avião chegará? All are correct, it depends if it is colloquial or not.
agree  Brazman: Correto em tempo e modo do verbo.

Quando o avião vai chegar?


Explanation:
This is the simple and plane translation because the sentence is very simple.
If you want a more formal way you can say:
"Quando chegará o avião?" or
"Quando o avião chegará?"

agree  Deolinda Neves (X): This would be the most simple and natural expression, and although in regular conversation it doesn't really matter if it's Brazilian or Portuguese. In written text you would normally put the pronoun after the subject -"A que horas chega o avião?"

agree  Gustavo Strobel (X): I just have to agree.

agree  Daniel Marcus: the most natural one + agree with Deolinda

disagree  Vivian: This translate the "arrival time" not "when" the plane arrive! That is asking for date and time, Andersen has the right answer

A que horas chega o avião? (agree with Maria)


Explanation:
Sorry Maria. What I meant to say was that in Portuguese Brazilian as well as European Brazilian the expression is correct for normal conversion. There is just a slight difference in European Portuguese which is probably not that relevant for this context anyway.
