These figures cover 270 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 15 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.

Delay causes
Why F9 2249 runs late

- 73%Late-arriving aircraft
- 21%Carrier
- 6%National Airspace System
73% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 2,819 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 73 to one. The split is drawn from 2,819 delay minutes reported on F9 2249.
Cancellations sit at 1.48% against a national 1.89%, 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 4.5% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 1,188 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 270 flights under F9 2249 in the data flew SJU 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. 270 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 2249
For a booking, F9 2249 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.2% on time and 1.48% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
