Why this is our top pick
- This morning flight leaves in the most reliable time of day on this route: its best departures have a 75% reliability rating vs 42% for night departures.
- Compared with the next-best option (PSA 5210 on the Bombardier CRJ900), it arrives on time 4 points more often.
- Legroom was comparable across the flights we compared (30–31 in), so it didn't set them apart.
Aircraft and legroom reflect the planes each flight has flown recently. Airlines can swap planes and seat maps change, so check the airline’s seat map when you book.
