B6 656 lands a B+, about a point worse than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in four 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 321 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.

These figures cover 321 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 5 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 656 flies

B6 656 flies MCO to SYR without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:00, used on 41 of 321 flights, with 07:25 (38 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 12:00 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and B6 656 runs 2 points worse at 76.5%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

B6 656 quarter by quarter

B6 656 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 89.1% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 58.6%, a swing of 30 points on roughly 80 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.

Oct–Dec 202583 flights65.1%
Jan–Mar 202659 flights58.6%

Scale runs 50% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, B6 656 did best on Wednesday at 87.8% on time and worst on Monday at 67.4%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why B6 656 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 43% of the 4,368 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.

Carrier
43%
Late-arriving aircraft
35%
National Airspace System
22%

35% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 4,368 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 35 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 4,368 delay minutes reported on B6 656.

Cancellations are rare at 0.62%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

7.5% 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 1,053 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 321 flights under B6 656 in the data flew MCO to SYR. 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. 321 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 656

For a booking, read B6 656 as 76.5% on time with 0.62% cancelled over 321 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
