MAF to AUS questions
- What time of day is best to fly MAF to AUS?
- Before 9 AM: 92% of flights arrived on time, against 71% 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 MAF to AUS?
- Southwest, with a season-adjusted 83% chance of operating and arriving on time over 320 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 (70% on time); the best was February (93%), averaged over Jun 2023 to May 2026.
- Is this a prediction for my flight?
