Departure window
The best time of day to leave MCO in June
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 37 points, against 13 points between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.
- 5am–8am2,144 flights92.2%
- 8am–11am2,480 flights87.0%
- 11am–2pm1,827 flights80.0%
- 2pm–5pm2,176 flights63.2%
- 5pm–8pm2,179 flights55.4%
- 8pm–5am1,735 flights57.8%
Scale runs 45% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 55.4% on time, against 92.2% 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 2,480 flights scheduled in it.
Across the week, Thursday is the strongest day at 76.5% on time and Sunday the weakest at 67.9%. 9 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.
Carrier by carrier
Which airlines ran best at MCO in June
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Delta Air Lines arrives on time 81.0% of the time; Southwest Airlines manages 68.0%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 4,435 flights means less than a ten-point one.
| Airline | Flights | On time | Avg delay | Cancelled | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Southwest Airlines | 4,435 | 68.0% | 63 min | 1.01% | C |
| Delta Air Lines | 1,724 | 81.0% | 87 min | 1.28% | B |
| Frontier Airlines | 1,683 | 74.9% | 80 min | 1.01% | C |
| American Airlines | 1,668 | 72.5% | 103 min | 1.08% | C |
| JetBlue Airways | 1,649 | 74.5% | 85 min | 1.15% | C |

| Allegiant Airthin sample | 41 | 69.2% | 88 min | 4.88% | C− |
The spread between Delta and Southwest is 13 points, wide enough that it should decide the booking. On a hundred trips that is 13 more arrivals inside the on-time window.

Delay causes
What held MCO up in June
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 255,000 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.
- 46%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%Carrier
- 20%National Airspace System
- 11%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 11% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the comparison with the other months below is the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 7%, so this operation carries roughly 1.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 254,590 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 1.00% against a national 1.65%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.39%.
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 10.9% 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.
