Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 115 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 2 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 19 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at LNK.

Delay causes

Why OO 5622 runs late

Carrier accounts for 44% of the 13,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

Carrier
44%
Late-arriving aircraft
38%
National Airspace System
16%
Extreme weather
2%

38% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 13,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 17 to one. The split is drawn from 12,631 delay minutes reported on OO 5622.

Cancellations are rare at 0.28%, below the national 1.89% 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

19.1% 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 363 flights under OO 5622 in the data flew DEN to LNK. 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. 363 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 OO 5622

For a booking, OO 5622 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 19.1% 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.
