How WN4257 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN4257 across the HOU and ATL 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 14 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN4257 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
