DOH to SFO questions
Is DOH–SFO running on time right now?
Mostly on schedule. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 79/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from DOH to SFO?
Great-circle distance is 12,994 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 947–1144 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does DOH–SFO fly?
Qatar Airways runs the route with about 8 flights a week (mon, tue, thu, sat). 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 DOH and arrival-side delay at SFO, 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.
