Pro Flight Search: San Diego (SAN) to Amsterdam (AMS) route reliability, measured from operated flights on official airport boards.

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.
Great-circle distance is 9,012 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 666–802 min gate-to-gate on this route.
KLM runs the route with about 3 flights a week (tue, thu, sat). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
A blend of departure-side delay at SAN and arrival-side delay at AMS, 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.
