These figures cover 339 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 16.8% 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 OH 5174 flies

OH 5174 flies CLT to DAY without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:20, used on 114 of 339 flights, with 19:25 (57 flights) and 20:23 (41 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 20:20 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and OH 5174 runs 7 points worse at 64.0%. 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

OH 5174 quarter by quarter

OH 5174 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 72.3% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 57.8%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 85 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.

By weekday, OH 5174 did best on Wednesday at 74.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 44.9%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 29 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OH 5174 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 9,702 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.

Extreme weather accounts for 14% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 9,702 delay minutes reported on OH 5174.

Cancellations sit at 1.77% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

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. 16.8% 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.

Every one of the 339 flights under OH 5174 in the data flew CLT to DAY. 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. 339 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 OH 5174

For a booking, OH 5174 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 16.8% 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.
