How the Houston to Brownsville route actually runs
Pro Flight Search tracks every published board update for nonstop IAH to BRO flights: 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. Fares link straight to the operating airline with no markups.
Smooth skies ahead. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 100/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from IAH to BRO?
Great-circle distance is 497 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 65–73 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does IAH–BRO fly?
United 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 IAH and arrival-side delay at BRO, 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.
