Last May flying CO DTW-IAH we had to take a big detour in the west over Oklahoma and Texas so we ended up spending 3hr07 in the air on the 1,077 mile flight. With padding the flight was blocked at 2hr28, we ended up over 45 minutes delayed inbound despite an ontime departure.
I wish I still had the Flight Aware map of it.
