These figures cover 302 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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.

Across the year
B6 323 quarter by quarter

Share of 295 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 41 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 4 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 36 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at LAX.
The worst days
Worst days for B6 323
The latest arrival of the period was on 14 December 2025, 10 hours 10 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as extreme weather. The five worst days are spread across December, July, February and August, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 14 December 2025 | 10 hours 10 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 22 July 2026 | 4 hours 9 minutes | Carrier |
| 16 February 2026 | 3 hours 29 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 10 August 2026 | 3 hours 22 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 23 August 2026 | 3 hours 13 minutes | Carrier |
Delay causes
Why B6 323 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 4,168 reported delay minutes.
- 39%National Airspace System
- 31%Carrier
- 16%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 13% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.2 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,168 delay minutes reported on B6 323.
Cancellations sit at 2.32% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.4% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 2,475 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 302 flights under B6 323 in the data flew JFK 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. 302 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.
