MEL to BWN questions
Is MEL–BWN running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at MEL is the weaker end, route health score 92/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from MEL to BWN?
Great-circle distance is 5,659 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 429–515 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MEL–BWN fly?
Royal Brunei Airlines runs the route with about 5 flights a week (sun, tue, thu, fri, 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 MEL and arrival-side delay at BWN, 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.
