How AA885 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AA885 across the BOS and CLT boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 6 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AA885 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
