Perhaps this is a silly question, but is there a common word/phrase/term which would describe a time + location tuple (time and place), for flights or maritime links?
I.e. say I have a flight defined as:
Departure: Monday, 10:00 London,
Arrival: Monday, 18:00 New York.
"Monday, 10:00"/"Monday, 18:00" are both departure/arrival times, "London"/"New York" are both departure/arrival ports or airports.
So, is there a phrase which would describe both "Monday, 10:00 London" and "Monday, 18:00 New York"?
Goal would be to be able to describe it as:
- a route contains one or more connections
- a connection has a single departure "?" and arrival "?"
- a "?" is defined by a timestamp and airport
If there are any better terms for what I am describing above, I'd be grateful to hear them also.

I suggest juncture. I used it in context of modelling a software system for the term described in the question.
It is defined as a point in time and also as a place where things join.
