You should phrase your research question in a way that matches up with the scope of inference your dataset allows for.
Either the “origin location” of a given flight route or the “destination location” of a given flight route has a significant effect on the “delay in arrival time” that is observed upon a flight’s arrival to its designated destination
What are the cases, and how many are there?
336776 flight details are the cases
Describe the method of data collection.
Airline on-time data for all flights departing NYC in 2013. Also includes useful ‘metadata’ on airlines, airports, weather, and planes.
