These figures cover 311 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 16.7% 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 1294 flies

B6 1294 flies MCO to HPN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:20, used on 55 of 311 flights, with 20:10 (46 flights) and 20:21 (44 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 20:20 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and B6 1294 runs 9 points worse at 61.5%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

B6 1294 quarter by quarter

B6 1294 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 69.1% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 58.3%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 78 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.

Jul–Sep 202581 flights69.1%
Oct–Dec 202586 flights58.3%
Jan–Mar 202681 flights59.2%

Scale runs 50% to 75%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, B6 1294 did best on Wednesday at 81.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 46.7%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 35 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why B6 1294 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 8,248 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.

57% 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 8,248 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 24 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 8,248 delay minutes reported on B6 1294.

Cancellations sit at 1.93% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.93%.

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. 16.7% 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 972 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 311 flights under B6 1294 in the data flew MCO to HPN. 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. 311 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 1294

For a booking, B6 1294 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 16.7% 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.
