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 76% reliability rating vs 50% for midday departures.
- American trips we compared arrive on time 67% of the time on average, 4 points more often than United (63%).
- Compared with the next-best option (Republic 3417 on the Embraer E175), it arrives on time 4 points more often; it flies a newer plane (about 4 vs 10 years old).
- Legroom was comparable across the flights we compared (30 in), so it didn't set them apart.

Historical odds, not a guarantee. Built from the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics on-time reports (Jun 2025 to May 2026), FAA ground stop and delay program advisories, and 20 years of airport weather observations. Covers US airlines that report to the DOT; schedules are flights operated recently, so confirm times when you book. ATIS Alerts is not affiliated with any airline. Fares are what Aviasales travelers saw in recent searches (USD, one way, 1 adult), not live quotes; the partner site shows the current price.
