| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 19 July 2026 | 5 hours 13 minutes | Carrier |
| 24 June 2026 | 4 hours 25 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why B6 472 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 55% of the 6,904 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

- 28%Late-arriving aircraft
- 16%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
55% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 3,817 minutes out of 6,904, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 6,904 delay minutes reported on B6 472.
Cancellations run at 6.67%, against 1.89% 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
13.9% 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 1,076 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.
Every one of the 360 flights under B6 472 in the data flew FLL to LGA. 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. 360 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 472
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 472: 6.67% of its 360 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.
