Expected delay for AA1659 on friday?
Taking AA1659 into ORD on friday, expected arrival time is 730pm. The flight yesterday was canceled (because of weather I assume). And today's flight hasn't taken off yet, are there any ways for me to take a guess at the delays I'd likely face?
I've used flightstats.com but it only gives 1 day of flight history, are there any other sites available?
What does personal experience tell you?
TIA, I'm hoping I can make a dinner at 9pm.

There is no reasonable way of knowing .... though some may claim to know.

Agreed. IME the earlier flights are generally more on-time than the afternoon/evening flights since there are fewer chances of delays throughout the day - but on any given day it's all up to chance.

Did you all take the Earth's rotation into consideration? It should bring it down a bit.

EF says this flight is on-time 25% of the time with an average delay of an hour and two minutes, and the longest delay in the last 60 days of 3 hours and 51 minutes. When this flight is late into ORD, more often than not, it is more than 45 minutes late.
I wouldn't plan to do anything in Chicago that night, and be pleasantly surprised if it works out.

Just a thought.
Select "Flight Rating" in flightstats.com and you get the performance over the last 2 months; select "Flight history" and you can display history for the flight.
