How AA98 actually runs

Pro Flight Search has tracked every published board update for AA98 across the ORD and LHR boards: schedule changes, gate pushes and actual clocks. Early read — pattern not clear yet. Only 3 completed legs so far: left about 5 min early but landed about 21 min early. Not enough to call it.

The verdict above is that record speaking, so it reflects how AA98 operates rather than what the timetable promises. Numbers refresh as new flights operate.
