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 86% reliability rating vs 78% for night departures.
- Compared with the next-best option (SkyWest 6394 on the Bombardier CRJ900 or CRJ700), it arrives on time 10 points more often.
- 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.

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.
