Delay causes
Why F9 3054 runs late

- 1%Extreme weather
53% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 11,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 53 to one. The split is drawn from 11,013 delay minutes reported on F9 3054.

Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
16.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
Every one of the 320 flights under F9 3054 in the data flew ATL to TPA. 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. 320 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 3054
For a booking, F9 3054 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 16.5% 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.
