Either side of it, October ran 84.3% on time and December 76.3%, so this month sits in line with its neighbours.

Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 86.3% of the time, against 75.9% for the evening window. That is 10 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 553 flights scheduled in it.

Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 89.0% on time and Sunday the weakest at 69.6%, a spread of 19 points.

Delay causes

What held OMA up in November

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 31,000 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
37%
Late-arriving aircraft
31%
National Airspace System
26%
Extreme weather
6%
Security
1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 37%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 11,000 of the 31,000 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 31,209 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations sit at 1.92% against a national 2.49%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.20%.

7.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 7.8%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

Flying from OMA in November
