How UA1240 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA1240 across the DFW and IAD 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 17 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA1240 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
