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.
