MDW to PBI questions

Is MDW–PBI running on time right now?

High disruption likely. The arrival side at PBI is the weaker end, route health score 15/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from MDW to PBI?

Great-circle distance is 1,819 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 158–186 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does MDW–PBI fly?

Jet Linx Aviation runs the route with about 1 flight a week (mon). 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 MDW and arrival-side delay at PBI, 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.
