Flights in the data

Data through May 2026.

Southwest Airlines is the only airline in this data on this route, arriving on time 84% of the time across 123 flights. No comparison to make.

What the data says

Mornings have a slight edge.

Departures between 9 AM–12 PM arrived on time 87% of the time, against 82% between 12–3 PM.

Friday is doing you no favors.

PNS–MDW flights arrived on time 92% of the time on Thursdays and just 77% on Fridays. That gap is worth planning around.

It basically never cancels.

Out of 123 scheduled flights, only 0.0% were cancelled.
