LGA to CMH questions
- What time of day is best to fly LGA to CMH?

- Which airline is most on time from LGA to CMH?
- Spirit, with a season-adjusted 73% chance of operating and arriving on time over 216 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 (75% on time); the best was September (91%), averaged over Jun 2023 to May 2026.
- Is this a prediction for my flight?
