How QF837 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for QF837 across the DRW and MEL boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 25 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how QF837 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
