- This morning flight leaves in the most reliable time of day on this route: its best departures have a 83% reliability rating vs 76% for midday departures.
- United trips we compared arrive on time 84% of the time on average, 9 points more often than Southwest (74%).
- Compared with the next-best option (Southwest 2462 on the Boeing 737-700), it arrives on time 11 points more often; it flies a newer plane (about 9 vs 22 years old).
- Legroom was comparable across the flights we compared (30–31 in), so it didn't set them apart.

Aircraft and ages come from the planes each flight number actually flew in the last 3 months of data (FAA registry build years); airlines can swap planes. Legroom is the seat pitch the airline or a seat-map source publishes for that aircraft and cabin; we never estimate it, and seat maps change, so check the airline’s seat map when you book.
