Ways to get it wrong
Using 'es' instead of 'sale'
'Es' means 'is' in a permanent sense; 'sale' means 'departs' or 'leaves' for a scheduled event.
Confusing 'tiempo' with 'hora'
'Tiempo' means 'time' in a general sense or 'weather'; 'hora' refers to a specific clock time.
A small cultural note
While this phrase is widely understood, some regions might use slightly different phrasing or rely more on visual cues like departure boards.
