Flights in the data

Data through May 2026.

Alaska Airlines is the only airline in this data on this route, arriving on time 66% of the time across 619 flights. No comparison to make.

What the data says

Morning-you made the right choice.

SFO–PAE flights departing between 6–9 AM arrived on time 93% of the time, versus 40% between 12–3 PM.

Friday is doing you no favors.

SFO–PAE flights arrived on time 78% of the time on Saturdays and just 59% on Fridays. That gap is worth planning around.

Recent months have been rougher.

SFO–PAE flights arrived on time 52% of the time over the last three months in the data, compared with 69% in the three months before that.
