“QUENTIN: When do we get there?”
For these three answers, does “there” not need to be explicitly included, maybe with a “y”, such as “QUENTIN : Quand est-ce qu'on y arrive ?”
Same question for “We'll get there when we get there!”.
This question relates to:French writing exercise "Family holiday car trip"

Bonjour Brian,
'y' doesn't need to be included in these sentences, in this context (getting somewhere / to a place).
Attention: 'y arriver' = to make it - 'having a goal'
Tu peux y arriver = you can make it
Il va y arriver petit à petit = he'll get there bit by bit
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !
