These figures cover 296 flights between July 2025 and June 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.

YX 5692 flies BOS to DCA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:35, used on 184 of 296 flights, with 07:25 (79 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 07:35 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and YX 5692 runs level with that at 88.2%. 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 5692 quarter by quarter

YX 5692 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 95.5% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 82.9%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 74 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 5692 ranged from 83.3% on Wednesday to 92.9% on Saturday. With about 42 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why YX 5692 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 65% of the 1,547 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.

Late-arriving aircraft
5%

65% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 1,012 minutes out of 1,547, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,547 delay minutes reported on YX 5692.

Cancellations sit at 2.36% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.34%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.5% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including DCA to BOS (95), but none flew often enough under YX 5692 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BOS to DCA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 296 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.
