Aspects further include coordinating travel plans for each of the at least two participants based at least in part on the estimated travel time of each of the at least two participants, wherein the coordination includes determining a departure time for each of the at least two participants such that each of the at least two participants will arrive at the destination location within a threshold amount of time from one another.
