B6 2754 earns an F−, which is as low as this site's scale goes for a reason. Only 50.5% of flights arrive inside the 15-minute window, 27 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. Late arrivals average an hour and a half. Treat any tight connection here as a coin flip. That rests on 336 flights, with a median arrival 14 minutes late.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so B6 2754 runs 27 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 271 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 336 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 27.5% 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 2754 flies

B6 2754 flies DCA to BOS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:55, used on 60 of 336 flights, with 18:50 (53 flights) and 17:59 (37 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

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

A 18:55 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and B6 2754 runs 18 points worse at 50.5%. 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 2754 quarter by quarter

By weekday, B6 2754 did best on Tuesday at 60.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 34.8%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 25 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why B6 2754 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 59% of the 14,000 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.

Extreme weather
1%

59% 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 14,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 44 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 13,663 delay minutes reported on B6 2754.

Cancellations run at 6.85%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in fifteen 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 27.5% 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.

Every one of the 336 flights under B6 2754 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. 336 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 2754

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 2754: 6.85% of its 336 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.
