Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
8.7% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including DEN to MOT (76), CAE to ORD (20) and ORD to HSV (1), but none flew often enough under OO 5495 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SAF to DEN only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 257 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
What to do with this
Booking OO 5495
For a booking, OO 5495 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.2% on time and 1.17% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
