CAI to LXR questions

Morning or evening flight on CAI–LXR?

Operators schedule morning departures around 00:30 and evening departures around 17:30 from CAI. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the LXR delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from CAI to LXR?

Great-circle distance is 511 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 66–74 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does CAI–LXR fly?

3 carriers operate this route, around 79 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 CAI and arrival-side delay at LXR, 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.
