How LX38 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for LX38 across the ZRH and SFO boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~43 min) but landed a little late (~6 min). Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how LX38 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
