When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
94 min late
against a median of 5 min late
F93242 is a flight whose average understates its risk: a typical day arrives 5 min late, but the worst tenth of days are 90 minutes worse than that. If the day has something unmissable in it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 308 records of F93242 operating DFW → ORD, published by the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A flight counts as delayed when it arrives 15 or more minutes after schedule. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and reported separately. Flight numbers are resolved as carrier plus number plus route, because the same number serves different routes over time.
