What the record says about SFB

Departures from Sanford run late more often than average — enough that a tight connection at the far end deserves a second look.

With 40 routes in the record, SFB is a hub, and hubs carry a particular risk: a delay early in the day propagates through every aircraft that was due to fly on afterwards. Morning departures from a hub are reliably better than evening ones.
