These figures cover 326 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 12.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When B6 1174 flies

B6 1174 flies BNA to JFK without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 15:52, used on 64 of 326 flights, with 13:53 (42 flights) and 13:10 (40 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 15:52 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and B6 1174 runs 3 points worse at 69.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

B6 1174 quarter by quarter

B6 1174 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 86.6% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 57.8%, a swing of 29 points on roughly 82 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

By weekday, B6 1174 did best on Saturday at 78.0% on time and worst on Thursday at 57.4%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why B6 1174 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 46% of the 6,003 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.

41% 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 6,003 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 41 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 6,003 delay minutes reported on B6 1174.

Cancellations run at 5.83%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in fifteen cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 12.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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.

The 765 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

Every one of the 326 flights under B6 1174 in the data flew BNA to JFK. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 326 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

Booking B6 1174

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 1174: 5.83% of its 326 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
