These figures cover 273 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 17.3% 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 F9 1384 flies

F9 1384 flies CLT to PHL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 15:49, used on 45 of 273 flights. 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 15:49 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and F9 1384 runs 8 points worse at 64.3%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

F9 1384 quarter by quarter

F9 1384 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 79.0% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 49.4%, a swing of 30 points on roughly 68 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, F9 1384 ranged from 57.9% on Saturday to 68.2% on Monday. With about 39 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why F9 1384 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 8,424 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.

57%
Carrier

National Airspace System

Extreme weather
9%

57% 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 8,424 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 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 8,424 delay minutes reported on F9 1384.

Cancellations sit at 2.20% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.37%.

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. 17.3% 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.

Every one of the 273 flights under F9 1384 in the data flew CLT to PHL. 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. 273 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 F9 1384

For a booking, F9 1384 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 17.3% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
