These figures cover 303 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 3 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.

Share of 299 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
4 of 31 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 13% of them. In the other direction, 20 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 FLL.
The worst days
Worst days for B6 1822
The latest arrival of the period was on 28 December 2025, 3 hours 38 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 28 December 2025 | 3 hours 38 minutes | Carrier |
| 11 March 2026 | 3 hours 22 minutes | Carrier |
| 25 January 2026 | 3 hours 21 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why B6 1822 runs late
Carrier accounts for 56% of the 2,783 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 56%Carrier
- 29%National Airspace System
- 13%Extreme weather
- 1%Late-arriving aircraft
- 1%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 13% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,783 delay minutes reported on B6 1822.
Cancellations sit at 0.99% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.33%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.7% 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.
The 673 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.
Every one of the 303 flights under B6 1822 in the data flew MSY to FLL. 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. 303 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 1822
For a booking, read B6 1822 as 84.3% on time with 0.99% cancelled over 303 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
