Delay causes
Why YX 5716 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 8,718 reported delay minutes.
- 39%Late-arriving aircraft
- 33%National Airspace System
- 20%Carrier
- 8%Extreme weather
39% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 8,718 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 to one. The split is drawn from 8,718 delay minutes reported on YX 5716.
Cancellations run at 12.17%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in eight 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
22.8% 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 LGA to IND (15), but none flew often enough under YX 5716 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BOS to LGA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 304 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 5716
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5716: 12.17% of its 304 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.
