These figures cover 312 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 14.3% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When B6 711 flies
B6 711 flies JFK to LAS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:54, used on 73 of 312 flights, with 18:45 (47 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 19:54 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and B6 711 runs level with that at 70.0%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
B6 711 quarter by quarter
B6 711 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 80.2% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 59.7%, a swing of 21 points on roughly 78 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.

By weekday, B6 711 did best on Friday at 81.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 58.5%. Each day rests on about 45 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why B6 711 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 52% of the 6,416 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.
- 52%Late-arriving aircraft
- 27%National Airspace System
- 19%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
52% 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 6,416 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 52 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 6,416 delay minutes reported on B6 711.
Cancellations run at 3.53%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 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
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 14.3% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
At 2,248 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 312 flights under B6 711 in the data flew JFK to LAS. 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. 312 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 711
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 711: 3.53% of its 312 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.
