What the data says

The late departure is the smart one here.

MSP–TYS flights departing between 6–9 PM arrived on time 75% of the time, versus 67% between 3–6 PM.

Friday is doing you no favors.

MSP–TYS flights arrived on time 81% of the time on Thursdays and just 64% on Fridays. That gap is worth planning around.
