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 70% reliability rating vs 43% for night departures.
- Compared with the next-best option (SkyWest 5799 + United 2092 on the Embraer E175 or Bombardier CRJ700), it arrives on time 7 points more often.
- 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.
