 ==Regular Traffic==
-Most flights are operated by US Airways/US Airways Express and Southwest, followed by Continental Connection/Express, Delta Connection and United Express.
+'''Morning Rush hour'''
-Cargo flights are operated by ABX Air, FedEx and UPS.
+The Morning rush hour lasts from 5AM to 10PM, where most of the flights will leave and arrive, and where you will catch the heavies departing (Fedex with the 767-200F, A310F, and 757-200F, and UPS with the 762F, A310F, and 752F). Southwest will mostly depart from these hours first. Then Amercian, Delta, and lastly United Airlines, though this varies. It will be quiet from 11:30pm to 1:56pm, where very little action will occurs, and you may see some general aviation aircraft takeoff or land at this time. You may also see some aircraft parked at their gates in the terminal, though it's usually empty.
+The best spots to view the Morning rush hour is in the Observation Deck, or the Aviation Museum.
+'''Afternoon Rush hour'''
+The afternoon rush hour lasts from 2pm to 10pm, where the first airline to arrive, though it varies, is Southwest. Then comes American Airlines (American Eagle), United, and Delta. UPS and Fedex will arrive in between the arrivals of Southwest and Delta. This is where afternoon takeoffs also happen. The airport will again be quiet from 11pm to 5am with very little, to no activity. Most of the airliners will be at their gates, waiting for the morning rush hour to begin.
+'''Airport Hours'''
+The Manchester-Boston regional Airport is open 24/7. The airport has a reputation for never surrendering to bad wether, usually during blizzards, snowstorms, and Thunderstorms. The airport only closed once on 9/11.
+'''Airport diversions'''
+It's rare, but diversions into KMHT do occur, and it's the time when unscheduled landings occurs. If A snow storm, or other weather related event hits the east coast (BOS, JFK, LGA, DCA, and IAD) those flights will divert into Manchester. Bangor International Airport in Bangor, ME is usually preferred because of its 11,440ft long runway, but sometimes, MHT is chosen to be used if no other option is available. The largest airplane to have been diverted into Manchetser is an Airbus A330 operated by Delta that diverted from Amsterdam.
