How can I find historical flight delay data?
I was on United flight 123 out of Heathrow to Washington Dulles on March 15 2014 and I want to find out what time it actually left. It should have departed at 0735 but was delayed with engine trouble. Now that you can claim for delays I want to find out how long the delay was.
