Historical statistics for November 2025, not live status or a forecast for this year’s November. For today’s conditions at FLL, see live FAA status.
FLL in November lands a B, 2 points worse than the national rate of 79.4%. Roughly one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 7,609 flights, of which Delta Air Lines flew 1,037 at 82.2% on time.
Delta Air Lines is the most reliable of the six carriers covered here at 82.2% on time across 1,037 flights.

FLL across all twelve months
These figures cover 7,609 departures from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International in November 2025. On time means an arrival less than 15 minutes after the scheduled gate time, the DOT's threshold, and the national comparison uses every US departure in the same month rather than the whole year.
Against the year
November next to FLL's other months
Against FLL's own year, November ran 6 points better than the twelve-month rate of 71.5%, which makes it number three of twelve months, best first. Either side of it, October ran 80.3% on time and December 64.9%, so a trip moved by a few weeks would have landed in a worse stretch.

Departure window
The best time of day to leave FLL in November
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 25 points, against 8 points between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.
- 5am–8am1,278 flights93.2%
- 8am–11am1,257 flights86.1%
- 11am–2pm1,223 flights77.7%
- 2pm–5pm1,255 flights68.6%
- 5pm–8pm1,420 flights69.9%
- 8pm–5am1,176 flights70.0%
Scale runs 60% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 93.2% of the time, against 68.6% for the afternoon window. That is 25 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 1,420 flights scheduled in it.
Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 85.4% on time and Sunday the weakest at 66.2%. 19 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.
Carrier by carrier
Which airlines ran best at FLL in November
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Delta Air Lines arrives on time 82.2% of the time; JetBlue Airways manages 74.4%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 2,013 flights means less than a ten-point one.

| JetBlue Airways | 2,013 | 74.4% | 69 min | 3.43% | C− |

American Airlines cancels 3.4% of what it schedules here, the highest in the table. A cancelled flight never appears in an on-time rate, so read that column alongside the punctuality one rather than after it.

Delay causes
What held FLL 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 119,000 reported delay minutes.
- 36%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%Carrier
- 31%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
36% 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 119,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 24 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 119,203 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 2.42% against a national 2.49%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.28%.
8.3% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 7.8%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says 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.
