Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.3% 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.
Every one of the 270 flights under B6 1906 in the data flew TPA 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. 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 1906
For a booking, B6 1906 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 92.1% on time and 1.11% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
