What the record says about this route

The two directions do not behave alike. ZTH to STN arrives on time 7.9 points less often than the outbound. Delay accumulates through the flying day, so whichever direction is scheduled later tends to carry the worse record — which is an argument for booking the morning departure if the choice exists.

This is a late route. Flights from London to Zakynthos miss their scheduled arrival often enough that a tight connection at the far end is a connection at risk.

Only Jet2 flies this route in the published record, so there is no choice to weigh — the route's figures and the airline's are the same figures.

This is a thin route — 212 flights across the whole period. On a route this infrequent a cancellation is far more costly than the rate suggests, because the next departure may not be the same day.

Which airline should you fly on this route?

Over July 2024 – July 2026, Jet2 arrived on time most often on STN to ZTH. Flights ran closest to schedule in October and worst in July.

What these figures do and do not tell you

Everything on this page is counted from the flights that actually operated on STN to ZTH during July 2024 – July 2026, as reported by the airlines to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics. "On time" is the federal definition: arriving at the gate within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.

A route's record is a description of the past, not a forecast. Weather, air traffic control and the aircraft's earlier flights that day drive most delays, and none of them are predictable from a historical rate. What the record does tell you is whether this route runs late more often than others, and which carrier on it has the better history — which is the part you can actually act on when you book.

Cancellations are counted separately from delays because they are a different problem for a traveller: a late flight still gets you there. How the grade is calculated →
