How UA5 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA5 across the IAH and LHR boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: landed +11 min. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA5 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
