How UA45 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA45 across the ZRH and SFO boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left a little late (~19 min) but landed about 5 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA45 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
