Departing from Des Moines International Airport (KDSM), the Airbus A319 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 16 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Upon reaching runway 13, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, accelerating down the 8,988-foot runway. The takeoff distance of 4,889 feet accounted for 54% of the available runway length, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 154 knots. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 43°F, with a wind of 11 knots at 80 degrees, resulting in a 9-knot crosswind and a 7-knot headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from Des Moines, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, which began overhead the airport. The climb from 1,934 feet above sea level to 38,012 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,077 feet, was achieved in 18 minutes and covered a distance of 101 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 74 minutes and covered 502 nautical miles. This phase was initiated 7 miles east of the Fizzle Ridge Airport (3MO8) in King City, Missouri. The enroute descent phase began 2 miles northwest of the Rainbow Field Airport (83TA) in Purdon, Texas, and saw the aircraft descend from 38,011 feet to 1,370 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,641 feet, in 26 minutes and covering 139 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 08L at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (KIAH) was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 90.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above target at 129 knots, and the touchdown distance of 1,338 feet was within acceptable limits, accounting for 48% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -179 feet per minute was good. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 12 minutes and covered 3 nautical miles. The total flight distance of 754 nautical miles was achieved in 142 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 10,556 pounds of fuel.

The aircraft touched down on runway 08L at KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 129 kt. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. The touchdown distance of 1,338 ft was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown speed of 123 kt was a little fast, which may have contributed to a slightly higher than desired touchdown rate of -179 fpm.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 10 ft from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 79 °F and a wind of 17 kt at 160 °, resulted in a crosswind of 16 kt and a headwind of 6 kt. The aircraft's performance was not significantly impacted by these conditions. The total landing distance of 4,331 ft, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was also executed well, with the aircraft maintaining a relatively straight path down the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 26 ft from the centreline, which was a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 97.8% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal performance.
