Delay causes
Why YX 4696 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 8,168 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

- 21%Carrier

- 7%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
53% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 8,168 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 8 to one. The split is drawn from 8,168 delay minutes reported on YX 4696.
Cancellations run at 7.80%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in twelve cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
19.0% 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 963 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 282 flights under YX 4696 in the data flew LGA to MEM. 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. 282 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 YX 4696
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 4696: 7.80% of its 282 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
