How UA5305 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA5305 across the MCI and IAH boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left right on schedule but landed about 18 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA5305 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
