departure date

When you leave

A departure date is the scheduled day when someone leaves or something begins its journey.

Travel bookings distinguish between departure and return dates: What's your departure date?

The term appears in flight itineraries, visa applications, and shipping documents.

For ongoing arrangements like leases or employment, a departure date marks when someone officially exits.
