These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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.

Schedule

When B6 2801 flies

B6 2801 flies FLL to LAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:05, used on 64 of 365 flights, with 09:20 (62 flights) and 10:15 (53 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 10:05 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and B6 2801 runs 3 points worse at 80.8%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

B6 2801 quarter by quarter

B6 2801 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 92.4% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 70.3%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 91 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights92.4%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights78.3%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights82.2%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights70.3%

Scale runs 60% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, B6 2801 did best on Thursday at 88.5% on time and worst on Wednesday at 73.1%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why B6 2801 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 3,178 reported delay minutes.

National Airspace System
39%
Carrier
39%
Late-arriving aircraft
19%
Extreme weather
4%

The largest share of delay minutes, 39%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 1,230 of the 3,178 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 3,178 delay minutes reported on B6 2801.

Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

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 8.1% 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.

At 2,343 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

Every one of the 365 flights under B6 2801 in the data flew FLL to LAX. 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. 365 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.
