YX 5744 earns an A−. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 9 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 294 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.

These figures cover 294 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 5744 flies
YX 5744 is scheduled to leave Boston (BOS) at 10:00 local time and reach New York (LGA) at 11:15. That slot held for 294 of the 294 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 10:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and YX 5744 runs level with that at 85.8%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Delay causes
Why YX 5744 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 2,283 reported delay minutes.
- 41%National Airspace System
- 35%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%Carrier
35% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 2,283 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 35 to one. The split is drawn from 2,283 delay minutes reported on YX 5744.
Cancellations run at 4.08%, against 1.89% 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 three other city pairs in the data, including STL to LGA (2), LGA to STL (2) and LGA to RIC (1), but none flew often enough under YX 5744 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. 294 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 5744
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5744: 4.08% of its 294 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
