These figures cover 342 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When F9 4726 flies
F9 4726 flies MCO to SJU without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 23:40, used on 82 of 342 flights, with 23:00 (71 flights) and 23:10 (47 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 23:40 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and F9 4726 runs 3 points better at 73.7%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
F9 4726 quarter by quarter
F9 4726 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 82.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 64.0%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 86 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.

- Oct–Dec 202582 flights82.7%
- Jan–Mar 202681 flights65.8%
- Apr–Jun 202690 flights82.2%
Scale runs 55% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, F9 4726 did best on Wednesday at 83.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 60.0%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why F9 4726 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 55% of the 5,928 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.
- 55%Late-arriving aircraft
- 35%Carrier
- 5%Extreme weather
- 5%National Airspace System
55% 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 5,928 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 5,928 delay minutes reported on F9 4726.
Cancellations are rare at 0.88%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
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 342 flights under F9 4726 in the data flew MCO to SJU. 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. 342 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 4726
