Flights AC1292 varies daily
Actual board outcomes rather than schedules, paired departure and arrival per flight and day.
Conditions are tightest at YVR and IAH: a 26% chance of a 15+ minute delay. In this weather, the more delayed of the two airports is typically about +6 min. Both figures come from the two airports' delay records in similar weather. See live delays → · Weather risk by airport →

Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop YVR to IAH flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

Pro Flight Search: Vancouver (YVR) to Houston (IAH) route reliability, measured from operated flights on official airport boards.

Smooth skies ahead. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 100/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Great-circle distance is 3,169 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 254–302 min gate-to-gate on this route.
Air Canada runs the route with about 7 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
A blend of departure-side delay at YVR and arrival-side delay at IAH, 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.
