In this case, the car arrived

at boarding gate.

is used for specific locations (as in by Gate) However, for city and country, it is arrived in. Jane

arrived in New York.

Jane

arrived at a very unusual airport in New York.

Is “arrived in” for more general/broader locations, while “at” is for specific locations? Jane arrived at 3:45 AM, which is

just fine. In general, “arrive”

should not be followed by the preposition “to”, since “to” implies movement, whereas “arrive” does not. “Arrive” implies accomplishment (belonging) of movement, not movement (eg.

movement instead)?

Where the location is implied and the sentence actually means:

Jane arrived in New York to take a test.

Colloquially, the “in New York” might be omitted if obvious.
