What the data says

The 12–3 PM departure wins.

AUS–DSM flights departing between 12–3 PM arrived on time 100% of the time, versus 48% between 3–6 PM.

Sunday scaries are real for this one.

AUS–DSM flights arrived on time 79% of the time on Thursdays and just 55% on Sundays. That gap is worth planning around.
