MCO to IND questions

What time of day is best to fly MCO to IND?: Before 9 AM: 93% of flights arrived on time, against 53% for departures after 9 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 MCO to IND?: Frontier, with a season-adjusted 79% chance of operating and arriving on time over 322 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.

Is this a prediction for my flight?: No. These are historical odds from the US DOT on-time reports, FAA advisories and airport weather records. Check your flight status and the FAA delay board on the day you fly.
