How WN1648 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN1648 across the AUS and MCI 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 WN1648 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
