Description
Parse arrivalLocalDate and departureLocalDate as real date labels and subtract their UTC-midnight representations for calendarDateChange.
Travel dates, ticket changes, and service windows combine calendar labels with operational rules. A date calculation can check supplied boundaries, but it does not establish availability, eligibility, or a provider's current policy.
Parse arrivalLocalDate and departureLocalDate as real date labels and subtract their UTC-midnight representations for calendarDateChange.

}Limitations and assumptions
- The signed date-label difference is not flight duration or elapsed time across timezones or the international date line.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Confirm the booking terms, local date convention, and provider's current availability separately.
