Share of 247 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 100 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 10 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 27 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 DCA.

Delay causes
Why B6 1355 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 9,487 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%Late-arriving aircraft
- 40%National Airspace System
- 16%Carrier
44% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,487 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 44 to one. The split is drawn from 9,487 delay minutes reported on B6 1355.
Cancellations run at 7.78%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in twelve 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
20.2% 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.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including JFK to DCA (45), but none flew often enough under B6 1355 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BOS to DCA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 270 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 1355
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 1355: 7.78% of its 270 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
