These figures cover 284 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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.

Delay causes
Why YX 5753 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 50% of the 1,157 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%National Airspace System
- 50%Carrier
50% 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 584 minutes out of 1,157, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,157 delay minutes reported on YX 5753.
Cancellations run at 3.52%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 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 2.2% 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 CLT to LGA (3), LGA to CLT (3) and DCA to JFK (1), but none flew often enough under YX 5753 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to PIT to LGA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 284 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 5753
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5753: 3.52% of its 284 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.
