How the Chicago to Portland route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop MDW to PWM 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.

MDW to PWM questions
How long is the flight from MDW to PWM?
Great-circle distance is 1,437 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 131–153 min gate-to-gate on this route.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at MDW and arrival-side delay at PWM, 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.
