These figures cover 262 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 17.3% 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 2334 flies

B6 2334 flies PBI to DCA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 17:45, used on 32 of 262 flights, with 12:25 (27 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 17:45 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and B6 2334 runs level with that at 68.2%. 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 2334 quarter by quarter

B6 2334 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 83.8% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 53.4%, a swing of 30 points on roughly 66 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.

By weekday, B6 2334 ranged from 63.2% on Monday to 74.3% on Wednesday. With about 37 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why B6 2334 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 61% of the 8,644 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.

  • Carrier
    24%
  • National Airspace System
    14%
  • Security
    1%
  • Extreme weather
    0%

61% 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 8,644 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 61 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 8,644 delay minutes reported on B6 2334.

Cancellations sit at 1.53% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.15%.

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. 17.3% 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 857 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.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including TPA to BDL (1), but none flew often enough under B6 2334 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to PBI to DCA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 262 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 2334

For a booking, B6 2334 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 17.3% 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.
