These figures cover 319 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 8 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Across the year

YX 4712 quarter by quarter

YX 4712 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 96.7% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 72.3%, a swing of 24 points on roughly 64 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, YX 4712 did best on Monday at 88.4% on time and worst on Friday at 69.6%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 19 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Arrival by arrival

How late YX 4712 runs when it is late

YX 4712 often beats the schedule: 92 of 307 completed flights, 30%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 56 late arrivals split 20 under half an hour, 18 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 18 an hour or more.

Share of 307 completed flights by arrival against schedule.

10 of 50 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 20% of them. In the other direction, 16 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 JFK.

Delay causes

Why YX 4712 runs late

Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 49% of the 3,213 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

49% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,213 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 49 to one. The split is drawn from 3,213 delay minutes reported on YX 4712.

Cancellations run at 2.51%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 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

5.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

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.

The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including BOS to CMH (42) and CMH to BOS (38), but none flew often enough under YX 4712 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BNA to JFK only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 319 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 4712

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 4712: 2.51% of its 319 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
