Across the year
YX 4710 quarter by quarter
YX 4710 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 78.6% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 58.1%, a swing of 20 points on roughly 84 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.

15 of 75 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 20% of them. In the other direction, 23 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 BNA.

| 16 March 2026 | 5 hours 59 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why YX 4710 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 7,068 reported delay minutes.
- 38%Late-arriving aircraft
- 26%National Airspace System
- 24%Extreme weather
- 12%Carrier
Extreme weather accounts for 24% 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 4.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 7,068 delay minutes reported on YX 4710.
Cancellations run at 4.18%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 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
11.6% 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 765 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 335 flights under YX 4710 in the data flew JFK to BNA. 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. 335 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 4710
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 4710: 4.18% of its 335 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
