How UA556 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for UA556 across the EWR and IAH boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left noticeably late (~22 min) but landed right on schedule. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how UA556 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
