Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 161 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 11 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 19 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at BOS.

Delay causes
Why B6 1354 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 50% of the 15,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%National Airspace System
- 34%Late-arriving aircraft
- 14%Carrier
- 2%Extreme weather
34% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 15,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 19 to one. The split is drawn from 15,035 delay minutes reported on B6 1354.
Cancellations run at 2.81%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 40 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
26.4% 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.
Every one of the 320 flights under B6 1354 in the data flew DCA to BOS. 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. 320 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 1354
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 1354: 2.81% of its 320 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.
