Best time of day to fly
On-time rate by scheduled departure hour (local time at IAH). Delays build through the day as late planes knock on, so early flights usually do best.
Last flight of the day
On IAH → GSP, each airline's last flight of the day was cancelled 1.0% of the time, against 0.3% for its earlier flights (3.0× as often). It arrived 3+ hours late 1.6% of the time (earlier flights: 1.0%). It matters more than the numbers suggest. Miss an earlier flight and there's another one that evening; miss the last one and you're usually waiting until morning.
| Airline | Last departure | Last: cancelled | Last: 3h+ late | Earlier: cancelled | Next morning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| United Airlines | 6:98 p.m. | 1.0% | 1.6% | 0.3% | first flight 12:30 p.m. |
Last flight = the airline's last scheduled departure on this route that day, on days it flies the route at least twice; past 12 months. Times are typical scheduled times over the latest three months.
If you need to be in GSP tonight, book an earlier flight so there's a backup if it's cancelled.
