- 5%Extreme weather

43% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,917 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 10 to one. The split is drawn from 5,917 delay minutes reported on AA 1176.
Cancellations sit at 1.34% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
11.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 600 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
The same number turns up on five other city pairs in the data, including RSW to CLT (78), CLT to SDF (11) and JAX to PHL (9), but none flew often enough under AA 1176 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CLT to RSW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 299 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
What to do with this
