How the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton to Philadelphia route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop AVP to PHL flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.
Significant delay risk. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 41/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from AVP to PHL?
Great-circle distance is 168 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 42–44 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does AVP–PHL fly?
American Airlines runs the route with about 28 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at AVP and arrival-side delay at PHL, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
