arriver
One pulling in
An arriver is someone who arrives—a person who shows up or reaches a destination.
The word is uncommon in English, appearing mostly in formal or literary contexts: The first arrivers found the best seats.
Late arrivers may face penalties or closed doors.
The word fills a gap that "arrival" doesn't quite cover when you need a noun for the person rather than the event.
