These figures cover 261 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 14 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 2249 flies

F9 2249 flies SJU to MCO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:04, used on 42 of 261 flights. 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 10:04 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and F9 2249 runs 2 points better at 86.4%. 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 2249 quarter by quarter

F9 2249 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 90.1% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 76.5%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 65 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.

Jul–Sep 202551 flights76.5%
Oct–Dec 202571 flights90.1%
Jan–Mar 202670 flights89.6%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, F9 2249 did best on Monday at 91.5% on time and worst on Sunday at 79.1%. Each day rests on about 37 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why F9 2249 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 74% of the 2,832 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.

Late-arriving aircraft
74%
Carrier
20%
National Airspace System
6%

74% 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 2,832 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 74 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 2,832 delay minutes reported on F9 2249.

Cancellations sit at 1.53% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

5.1% 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 a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

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. 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 261 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. 261 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
