Airlines pad flight times to accommodate for a number of variables, such as runway traffic and air space congestion.
An early arrival is always appreciated, and, considering the recent air travel pandemonium, surprising. But the skeptical traveler might wonder: Why is my flight so early, even when it seems late?
Are airlines padding their schedules to goose their on-time arrival rating or are more pragmatic factors at play?blog. “We are seeing more variance now, and there is an increased likelihood of the flight taking longer.”All airplane reservations list departure and arrival times, a calculation based on more than just mileage and air speed. The timer starts when the aircraft pushes back from the gate at the outbound airport and stops once it parks at the inbound airport.
“It sounds crazy because the airplanes didn’t slow down,” he said, “but there are a lot of inefficiencies in the system.”According to Barrus, who previously worked at Allegiant as director of planning, airlines typically consider three components when formulating flight times: taxiing out, actual flying and taxiing in. Each segment is littered with pitfalls. For instance, at the departure airport, your plane might have to sit in a long queue of aircraft waiting to take off.
, might request a plane circles overhead until the runway clears. After landing, the gate might not be ready.Airlines devise their own block times, which can vary for the same route. For example, Delta lists a nonstop from New York to Los Angeles as a six-hour flight, nearly a half-hour quicker than JetBlue’s itinerary. There are a multitude of reasons for this discrepancy, such as crew hours, aircraft type, connections and even the carrier’s philosophy to scheduling.
