Comparing scheduled flights…
Retrieving the route schedule and checking recent performance for similar flights.
Why this result?
How it works
A simple question: which flight is most likely to beat your deadline?
MakeItBy compares the nonstop flights available for your trip and looks at how similar flights have performed in the recent past. You do not need to understand airline data or statistical modeling to use it.
We find the nonstop options
We pull the scheduled flights for that route and keep the ones that can arrive before your deadline.
We check similar past flights
Each option is compared with recent flights on the same route, on the same airline, and at a similar time of day.
We only call a winner when it matters
If one option has a meaningful historical advantage, we can recommend it. If the difference is too small, we simply say there is no clear reliability advantage.
Reading the result
If a flight shows 96%, similar past flights beat your deadline about 96% of the time.
That percentage is useful for comparing options, but it is not a guarantee for your individual flight. It also does not include what happens after you land, such as baggage claim, traffic, or event check-in.
Important boundary
This is not a live flight forecast.
MakeItBy does: compare scheduled options using recent historical arrival patterns.
MakeItBy does not: predict today's exact departure or arrival time, ingest live weather, account for a developing storm, air-traffic restriction, maintenance issue, or guarantee that you will make a downstream event.
What MakeItBy handles
U.S. domestic nonstop flights with enough recent history to make a useful comparison.
What you still need to allow for
Baggage claim, ground transportation, traffic, event entry, fares, seat availability, connections, and international travel.
