Two Flights, One Arrival Deadline

Illustrative Only. The flight options, arrival times, and percentages below are invented to demonstrate the result layout. They are not actual flight estimates or observed historical outcomes.

Airport arrival deadline: 6:00 PM Destination local time

Diamonds mark scheduled arrivals. Vertical lines mark the deadline.

Option A Scheduled arrival: 1:00 PM
Deadline buffer: 5 hours
94% Illustrative chance of arriving by deadline
Option B Scheduled arrival: 3:30 PM
Deadline buffer: 2 hours 30 minutes
86% Illustrative chance of arriving by deadline

In this fictional example, Option A's illustrative deadline reliability is 8 percentage points higher. Option B is scheduled to arrive 2 hours 30 minutes later, leaving less buffer. Buffer is the time between scheduled arrival and your deadline. A real comparison estimates reliability for the flights you enter.

Important Limit

Reliability Estimate, Not a Day-of-Travel Forecast

MakeItBy does: estimate the chance each eligible flight arrives by your deadline, using historical arrival data.

MakeItBy does not: predict live weather, maintenance, air-traffic restrictions, or guarantee that a flight will meet your deadline.

What MakeItBy Supports

U.S. domestic nonstop flights between the same two airports when enough historical data is available to provide an estimate.

What MakeItBy Does Not Include

Connecting itineraries or layovers, fares, seat availability, international flights, baggage claim, ground travel, or event entry.
