Extreme weather

51% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,166 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 16 to one. The split is drawn from 4,166 delay minutes reported on B6 2902.

Cancellations run at 7.84%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in twelve 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

9.7% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including FLL to JFK (5), but none flew often enough under B6 2902 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to JFK to BUF only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 268 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 2902

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 2902: 7.84% of its 268 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
