CAK to ORD questions
- What time of day is best to fly CAK to ORD?
- Before 9 AM: 79% of flights arrived on time, against 58% for departures 3 to 6 PM. Later flights inherit delays from earlier ones, so the first departures of the day usually run best.
- Which airline is most on time from CAK to ORD?
- Envoy, with a season-adjusted 71% chance of operating and arriving on time over 49 flights. The adjustment compares each airline with what the route did in the months it flew, so a carrier that skipped a stormy month gets no free credit.

- July (63% on time); the best was October (83%), averaged over Jun 2023 to May 2026.
- Is this a prediction for my flight?
