Departure window

The best time of day to leave BUR in November

Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 12 points, against about a point between the best and worst carrier.

5am–8am374 flights81.5%
8am–11am532 flights83.3%
11am–2pm574 flights83.5%
2pm–5pm505 flights80.0%
5pm–8pm472 flights75.6%
8pm–5am147 flights71.7%

Scale runs 65% to 90%.

The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 83.5% on time, ahead of 8pm–5am at 71.7%. Where the curve peaks mid-day rather than at dawn, the constraint is usually congestion at one end rather than the aircraft's own rotation. The 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 574 flights scheduled in it.

Across the week, Saturday is the strongest day at 88.7% on time and Sunday the weakest at 70.8%, a spread of 18 points.

Delay causes

What held BUR up in November

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 38,000 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
40%
Carrier
27%
National Airspace System
26%
Extreme weather
7%

40% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 38,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. The split is drawn from 38,285 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations sit at 2.00% against a national 2.49%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.

7.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 7.8%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
