| Sep 9, 2014 at 18:26 | comment | added | apsillers | Perhaps this isn't enough for an answer, but I've had experience with certain budget airlines who add an extra hour or so to the flight time (which is spent waiting for boarding to open) so they can claim in advertising that their flights arrive on time with 9X% frequency. | |
| Sep 9, 2014 at 13:28 | comment | added | Marc van Leeuwen | @Alexander: OK, so I misread the chart. Apparently the dimensions and placement of the coloured rectangle with the airline name corresponds to the departure/arrival times. | |
| Sep 9, 2014 at 13:24 | comment | added | Alexander | @MarcvanLeeuwen as far as I can see from the screenshot, the difference is 2 hours (Delta 7 p.m./AF 9 p.m.), so it will be a different airplane. | |
| Sep 9, 2014 at 11:54 | comment | added | Marc van Leeuwen | It's not 100% clear from this screenshot, but it looks those are two flights the same day with very close (or identical) departure times. Having made this trip a few times, which were always co-operated AF/Delta, I very strongly suspect it is in fact the same flight, operated by one of the two partner airlines. Which would make the difference in travel time even more surprising. | |
| Sep 9, 2014 at 10:05 | comment | added | Sandra | This is not really an answer, but I'd ask the airline. I usually fly KLM and they answer all types of questions within the hour in their Facebook page. I guess AirFrance has the same kind of support as they're partner airlines. | |
