XIY to ALA questions
Morning or evening flight on XIY–ALA?
Operators schedule morning departures around 05:50 and evening departures around 20:00 from XIY. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the ALA delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from XIY to ALA?
Great-circle distance is 2,896 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 234–278 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does XIY–ALA fly?
2 carriers operate this route, around 4 flights a week between them. Compare carrier days and times in the airline list above.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at XIY and arrival-side delay at ALA, 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.
