I am booked on UA 534 from LAX to JFK over the next week and have noticed that it is nearly always delayed. When I booked it, I saw the arrival time of 4:30 and thought that this would give me enough time to get to a car rental place in Brooklyn that closes at 6:00.
Given the Flightstats info on this flight, should I seek to make alternate arrangements either with the car rental, or by changing the flight(used 50k UA miles, though I don't hold any sort of status so there would almost certainly be a change fee of some kind)
"This flight has an average delay of 45 minutes with a standard deviation of 61.23 minutes. Statistically, when controlling for sample size, standard deviation, and mean, this flight has delay performance characteristics better than 1% of other flights"
