- 1%Extreme weather
58% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,842 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 58 to one. The split is drawn from 9,842 delay minutes reported on F9 4702.

Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
17.2% 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.
The 813 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 273 flights under F9 4702 in the data flew AUS to ATL. 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 4702
For a booking, F9 4702 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 17.2% 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.
