Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 4795, check with Republic Airways. Republic Airways flies under contract for larger airlines, so a ticket for this flight may show a different airline code and number.

YX 4795 lands a B−, 5 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 261 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, YX 4795's record is 5 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 45 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 261 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 10 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.

Schedule

When YX 4795 flies

YX 4795 flies DSM to LGA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:45, used on 38 of 261 flights, with 07:00 (32 flights) and 07:10 (32 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 07:45 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and YX 4795 runs 7 points worse at 82.1%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

YX 4795 quarter by quarter

YX 4795 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 90.0% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 67.3%, a swing of 23 points on roughly 65 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.

Jul–Sep 202575 flights87.1%
Oct–Dec 202556 flights80.4%
Jan–Mar 202660 flights67.3%
Apr–Jun 202670 flights90.0%

Scale runs 60% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, YX 4795 did best on Wednesday at 91.8% on time and worst on Thursday at 72.9%. Each day rests on about 37 flights, so a gap of 19 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why YX 4795 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 49% of the 3,257 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.

Carrier
49%
Extreme weather
35%
National Airspace System
16%

Extreme weather accounts for 35% 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 5.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,257 delay minutes reported on YX 4795.

Cancellations run at 3.83%, against 1.81% 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

5.6% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 1,031 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including LGA to BOS (7), LGA to BTV (4) and RIC to MIA (3), but none flew often enough under YX 4795 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DSM to LGA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 261 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 4795

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 4795: 3.83% of its 261 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.
