Departure window
The best time of day to leave BOS in June
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 32 points, against 18 points between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.
- 5am–8am2,538 flights90.7%
- 8am–11am2,663 flights87.0%
- 11am–2pm1,909 flights78.5%
- 2pm–5pm2,140 flights71.4%
- 5pm–8pm2,193 flights60.4%
- 8pm–5am1,240 flights59.0%
Scale runs 50% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 8pm–5am window is where this operation falls apart: 59.0% on time, against 90.7% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 2,663 flights scheduled in it.
Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 81.9% on time and Sunday the weakest at 68.4%. 14 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.
Carrier by carrier
Which airlines ran best at BOS in June
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Republic Airways arrives on time 81.4% of the time; Southwest Airlines manages 63.5%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 722 flights means less than a ten-point one.
| Airline | Flights | On time | Avg delay | Cancelled | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| JetBlue Airways | 3,156 | 72.4% | 71 min | 1.62% | C |
| Republic Airways | 3,121 | 81.4% | 71 min | 2.44% | B |

The spread between Republic and Southwest is 18 points, wide enough that it should decide the booking. On a hundred trips that is 18 more arrivals inside the on-time window.

Delay causes
What held BOS up in June
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 210,000 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.
- 44%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%National Airspace System
- 25%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
44% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 210,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 29 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 210,168 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 1.77% against a national 1.65%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.30%.
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 9.7% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
