Flights in the data

Data through May 2026.

What the data says

The 12–3 PM departure wins.

Friday is doing you no favors.

IAH–ANC flights arrived on time 94% of the time on Saturdays and just 56% on Fridays. That gap is worth planning around.

It basically never cancels.

Out of 127 scheduled flights, only 0.0% were cancelled.
