Delay causes
Why YX 5681 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 7,041 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 26%National Airspace System
- 25%Carrier
50% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,041 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 50 to one. The split is drawn from 7,041 delay minutes reported on YX 5681.
Cancellations run at 9.21%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in ten 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
14.7% 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 same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including PIT to BOS (12), but none flew often enough under YX 5681 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LGA to CMH only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 315 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 5681
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5681: 9.21% of its 315 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.
