Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 5722, 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 5722 sits in the middle of the pack with a C−. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 8 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 298 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

These figures cover 298 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 14.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When YX 5722 flies

YX 5722 flies LGA to PIT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 21:15, used on 106 of 298 flights, with 21:20 (85 flights) and 21:25 (53 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 21:15 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and YX 5722 runs level with that at 70.1%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

YX 5722 quarter by quarter

YX 5722 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 78.6% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 60.0%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 75 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 202579 flights78.6%
Oct–Dec 202569 flights60.0%
Jan–Mar 202674 flights69.8%
Apr–Jun 202676 flights71.4%

Scale runs 50% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, YX 5722 ranged from 62.8% on Sunday to 72.7% on Wednesday. With about 43 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 5722 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 59% of the 6,204 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
59%
Carrier
33%
National Airspace System
8%

59% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 6,204 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 59 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 6,204 delay minutes reported on YX 5722.

Cancellations run at 10.07%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 14.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including ORD to BOS (18) and BOS to ORD (6), but none flew often enough under YX 5722 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LGA to PIT only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 298 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 5722

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5722: 10.07% of its 298 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.
