F9 1714 earns an A. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 8 points better than the national rate of 77.6%.

These figures cover 294 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 F9 1714 flies

F9 1714 flies CVG to MCO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 05:10, used on 54 of 294 flights, with 05:45 (43 flights) and 08:00 (37 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 05:10 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and F9 1714 runs 4 points worse at 85.2%. 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

F9 1714 quarter by quarter

F9 1714 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 95.6% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 74.0%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 74 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 1714 did best on Wednesday at 93.5% on time and worst on Saturday at 75.0%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 19 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why F9 1714 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 45% of the 3,080 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.

Extreme weather
4%

45% 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 3,080 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 10 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 3,080 delay minutes reported on F9 1714.

Cancellations sit at 1.02% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.4% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The 757 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 294 flights under F9 1714 in the data flew CVG to MCO. 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. 294 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 1714

For a booking, F9 1714 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 85.2% on time and 1.02% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
