On time performance data
I noticed this weekend that when you click on the flight number while searching for flights or in your itineraries, they now list on time performance data - % on time, and % greater than 30 minutes late. Feature didn't seem to work on my international flights. How new is this?
Nice feature, though I wonder if this is Delta's own data or independent 3rd party data.
