How IB720 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for IB720 across the LHR and MAD boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~29 min) but landed about 12 min early. Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how IB720 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
