Flights in the data

Data through May 2026.

Southwest Airlines is the only airline in this data on this route, arriving on time 85% of the time across 705 flights. No comparison to make.

What the data says

Morning flights do better here.

CLE–STL flights departing between 9 AM–12 PM arrived on time 95% of the time, versus 50% between 9 PM–12 AM.

Sunday scaries are real for this one.

CLE–STL flights arrived on time 94% of the time on Wednesdays and just 77% on Sundays. That gap is worth planning around.

It basically never cancels.

Out of 705 scheduled flights, only 0.1% were cancelled.

Slipping a little lately.

CLE–STL flights arrived on time 80% of the time over the last three months in the data, compared with 84% in the three months before that.
