How UA5288 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA5288 across the PSP and IAH boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left a little late (~12 min) but landed about 20 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA5288 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
