Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview

“I have an appointment and will be out from X to X” Don’t have to say anything else or go into detail

Exactly. You don’t owe them an explanation about your personal life. We work such long hours that it’s fine for you to take a couple big hours here and there without a detailed excuse.
During non-WFH times I would try and schedule them either early in morning or late in afternoon and could provide tons of excuses (doctor, dentist, car repair, etc.)
During WFH I just put a private event and usually no one tries to schedule over it.

Pick up family from airport or just say “I’m unavailable at this time”

Just "I have an appointment" or "I have a personal matter I need to take care of." No need to expound on it any more than that. If they ask what it is, just say, "sorry, it's pretty personal but I'll be back by X:XX."
Will be “offline” from x to x. Worked for me!
“Busy”
I have another meeting
I just block off my calendar? Hit the Skype do not disturb feature and go on my merry way
