Which is accurate Google or Flight Stats?
 
I searched but couldn't really find an answer. Which is more accurate Google or Flightstats? I've been following TAP Portugal 204 (EWR - LIS) for the past month or so since I will be flying that on 5/18. We have a 3 1/2 hr layover in LIS and have loved the on time performance since we were going to go out to a cafe. This week on Google it has consistently taken off on time however shows that it's delayed between 1-2 hours. (30 mins ago it was saying 1 1/2 hour delay, now is back on time). Flight stats has reported an on time or early arrival every day this week. (Early this am FS was reporting it as landed but Google showed it as appearing to still be in the air for another hour. ) any thoughts?
TIA

Thanks for the link. That's a perfect example.
Flight aware shows a departure of 6:14pm, scheduled arrival of 7:00 am, and estimated arrival of 5:32am.
Google says 5:55pm departure, scheduled arrival of 5:50am and estimated 5:32am arrival. Is Google the leader in info or the other sights more reliable?

This is not a Mileage Run. Question answered. I am closing the thread.
