How WN859 actually runs
Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for WN859 across the BUR and MSY boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read: no clear pattern yet. Only 2 completed legs so far: left a little late (~9 min) but landed about 14 min early. Not enough to call it.
The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how WN859 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
