Share of 276 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 106 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 7 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 34 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at LGA.

Delay causes
Why YX 5768 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 49% of the 12,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 49%National Airspace System
- 35%Late-arriving aircraft
- 15%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
35% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 12,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 27 to one. The split is drawn from 12,032 delay minutes reported on YX 5768.
Cancellations run at 7.07%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in fifteen 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
22.5% 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 BOS to DTW (1), but none flew often enough under YX 5768 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DCA to LGA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 297 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 5768
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5768: 7.07% of its 297 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.
