These figures cover 359 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 18 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Across the year

B6 1190 quarter by quarter

Delay causes

Why B6 1190 runs late

Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 60% of the 4,219 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

Extreme weather

60% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,219 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 60 to one. The split is drawn from 4,219 delay minutes reported on B6 1190.

Cancellations run at 4.46%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in twenty 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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.8% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

At 2,446 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

Every one of the 359 flights under B6 1190 in the data flew SAN 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. 359 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 1190

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 1190: 4.46% of its 359 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
