How WN559 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN559 across the HOU and FLL boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 1 completed leg so far: left heavily delayed (~101 min) but landed heavily delayed (~90 min). Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN559 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
