You may use a regular expressions to match the format of yyyy-mm-dd:

$re = '/(\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d)/m';
$str = 'WOLAK, KAMIL - Arrival Date: 2022-09-29 - Departure Date: 2022-10-06 - Ref: H242806';

preg_match_all($re, $str, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER, 0);

// Print the entire match result
var_dump($matches);

output:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2022-09-29
            [1] => 2022-09-29
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => 2022-10-06
            [1] => 2022-10-06
        )

)

$str = "WOLAK, KAMIL - Arrival Date: 2022-09-29 - Departure Date: 2022-10- 
    06 - Ref: H242806";


$data = explode("- ",$str);
$new_data = [];
foreach($data as $key => $value){

if(str_contains($value,"Arrival Date:")){
    $date = explode(":", $value);
    $new_data["arrival_date"] = $date[1];

}else if(str_contains($value,"Departure Date:")){
    $date = explode(":", $value);
    $new_data["departure_date"] = $date[1];
}

}

print_r($new_data);

you will get the result as

Array ( [arrival_date] => 2022-09-29 [departure_date] => 2022-10-06 )
