What the data says

Morning-you made the right choice.

DFW–MCI flights departing between 9 AM–12 PM arrived on time 80% of the time, versus 50% between 6–9 PM.

Sunday scaries are real for this one.

DFW–MCI flights arrived on time 75% of the time on Fridays and just 58% on Sundays. That gap is worth planning around.
