Which is the correct phase and why: I will arrive at 11:00 Am in Dallas or I will arrive in Dallas at 11:00 AM.

I am asking about the position in the phrase of the place and time. Which comes first the location or the time? Thank you in advance — Luis Velasco, Commented Jan 29, 2015 at 18:33
Another possibility is into. See e.g. Difference between “at” and “in” when specifying location, When do we use “arrive at” versus “arrive in”? and Is it correct to say “We will be arriving into <station>”? among others. — choster, Commented Jan 29, 2015 at 19:03
OP: "Which comes first the location or the time?" Whatever's important. But it's not really important, place and time versus time and place. — SrJoven, Commented Jan 29, 2015 at 20:09
It should be "At 11:00 AM I will arrive in Dallas." Or as Yoda would say, "Arrive in Dallas at 11:00 AM I will." (Seriously, it doesn't matter. There is no ambiguity and and no semantic problem with either of the OP's options.) — Hot Licks, Commented Jan 29, 2015 at 21:39

Both work equally well. There is no implicit difference in meaning or emphasis between the two.
