Latest news, Aug 19, 2026: BumpySkies missed the memo about Palm Beach International's suddenly changed airport codes, which affected notifications about flights departing formerly-known-as PBI. I've updated the codes, and allowed the airport to continue to be findable as "PBI", too.

It's too early to give you a forecast. I don't yet know the flight plan for this leg of JIA5407, so I can't give you an accurate forecast right now. Come check again closer to departure time. (Note that sometimes I don't know the flight plan until minutes before boarding!)
