MakeItBy: Flight Reliability for Arrival Deadlines
MakeItBy compares U.S. domestic nonstop flights by how often similar past flights arrived before a chosen deadline.

- Travelers who must reach an event or appointment on time
- Worth noticing
- Recommendations require at least a one-percentage-point historical advantage over the earliest eligible flight.
Field notes
The workflow separates airport arrival from the rest of the traveler’s buffer: the page tells users to subtract time for baggage claim, ground travel, check-in, or event entry before setting the deadline. Its comparison unit is not a generic flight score; each scheduled option is matched against recent flights on the same route and airline with a similar arrival time. The site explicitly withholds a recommendation when the historical difference is not meaningful enough.
