Need assistance in choosing flights.

[Minybear]

When I first looked at flights going from Tus to MCO I decided that American Airlines was a great airline to choose due to more leg room and we took them last time and we liked that airline. Now I am looking at airlines scheules again and I noticed that their rating for getting in on time has gone down to 60% (from 80-90%) on our the return trip to Tucson AZ.

Delta has a great rating of 80-90% but they get into Tucson AZ around 11pm (we leave approximately 6pm from MCO). If we go on American Airlines we leave MCO around 4pm and get in around 9pm.

What should I do pick an airline that has a great schedule for us or pick on dependabiltiy on getting in on time?

What do you think?

I'd go on the schedules, not on time proformance - cause your flight can still be delayed if it has 80 or 90%.

Thanks CaliforniaDreaming.

Dependability doesn't mean a thing...both of my 90% on time flights on US airways were delayed over an hour last time.

dependability ratings change frequently...... I would go with whoever has the better schedule for your needs and the better price. and if you fly one more frequently than the otehr and have an ftp acct then stick with that one to build up your mileage for that free tkt faster.

Thanks everyone. I was hoping you were going to say that due to I wanted to book American Airlines due to the better schedule but it scared me when I saw that rating had gone down to a very low rating. I did not want to have to pick Delta or Continental.

Thanks
