B6 379 lands a B, level with the national rate of 77.6%. Roughly one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 357 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes early.

These figures cover 357 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 2 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 379 flies

B6 379 flies DCA to FLL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 112 of 357 flights, with 07:30 (73 flights) and 07:37 (43 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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and B6 379 runs 11 points worse at 78.0%. 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 379 quarter by quarter

B6 379 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 88.9% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 61.2%, a swing of 28 points on roughly 89 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.

Scale runs 55% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, B6 379 did best on Wednesday at 85.7% on time and worst on Tuesday at 71.7%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why B6 379 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 44% of the 4,284 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.

The largest share of delay minutes, 44%, 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 1,901 of the 4,284 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,284 delay minutes reported on B6 379.

Cancellations run at 2.80%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 40 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

5.5% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says 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.

The 899 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.

Every one of the 357 flights under B6 379 in the data flew DCA to FLL. 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. 357 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 379

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 379: 2.80% of its 357 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
