How KD218 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for KD218 across the ORD and ANC boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: landed +116 min. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how KD218 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
