Schedule

When B6 1196 flies

B6 1196 flies FLL to PVD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 15:47, used on 59 of 302 flights, with 14:20 (44 flights) and 15:00 (31 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 15:47 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and B6 1196 runs 3 points worse at 69.4%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

B6 1196 quarter by quarter

B6 1196 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 77.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 60.7%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 76 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 1196 did best on Thursday at 78.3% on time and worst on Saturday at 61.7%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why B6 1196 runs late

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 6,214 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
41%
Carrier
28%
National Airspace System
22%
Extreme weather
8%

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 6,214 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 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 6,214 delay minutes reported on B6 1196.

Cancellations sit at 1.66% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

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. 12.1% 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 1,188 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 302 flights under B6 1196 in the data flew FLL to PVD. 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. 302 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 1196

For a booking, B6 1196 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.1% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
