Why this is our top pick
- This morning flight leaves in the most reliable time of day on this route: its best departures have an 85% reliability rating vs 63% for night departures.
- Compared with the next-best option (United 490 on the Boeing 737-700 or 737-800), it arrives on time 2 points more often; it flies a newer plane (about 9 vs 24 years old).
- Legroom was comparable across the flights we compared (30 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.
