4 Why use “on a jet plane” in the ‘st sentence and "in a jet plane" to the 2nd? — Dreamer May 28

Itis also acceptable to use no preposition whatsoever:
Il arrive the first week of July
This is also acceptable with specific days
Mlarrive July 5th
This does not work with specific years.
MM arrive
2014. (only ‘in’ works)
However you can say
Il arrive next year. (‘in’ would be incorrect here.)

Neither. I would say:
l'llarrive during the first week of July.
