Best time of day to fly
On-time rate by scheduled departure hour (local time at BOI). Delays build through the day as late planes knock on, so early flights usually do best.
Last flight of the day
On BOI → GEG, each airline's last flight of the day was cancelled 1.9% of the time, against 0.7% for its earlier flights (2.6× as often). It arrived 3+ hours late 0.8% of the time (earlier flights: 0.4%). It matters more than the numbers suggest.
