1A.M. but never Am. Otherwise either is acceptable. – SrJoven Jan 29 '15 at 18:28

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 Jan 29 '15 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
”? among others. – choster Jan 29 '15 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 Jan 29 '15 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 Jan 29 '15 at 21:39

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