On-time rate by scheduled departure hour (local time at GRB). Delays build through the day as late planes knock on, so early flights usually do best.
Last flight of the day
On GRB → MSP, each airline's last flight of the day was cancelled 0.8% of the time, against 1.4% for its earlier flights, so here the last flight is actually the safer one.
