These figures cover 571 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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.

Departure window
When JetBlue runs best on this route
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 32 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am126 flights95.9%
- 8am–11am155 flights92.2%
- 11am–2pm6 flights—
- 2pm–5pm9 flights—
- 5pm–8pm159 flights64.1%
- 8pm–5am116 flights75.9%
Scale runs 55% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 64.1% on time, against 95.9% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 159 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
JetBlue on BQN to MCO through the year
December is the weak month at 70.7% on time, against 93.3% in March. Winter delays cluster: a single storm system can account for most of a month's shortfall, so an average December hides both very good weeks and genuinely unflyable days. June was the busiest month here, with 75 flights.
Across the week, Friday is the strongest day at 89.0% on time and Tuesday the weakest at 74.7%, a spread of 14 points.

The worst days
Worst days for JetBlue on BQN to MCO
The latest arrival of the period was on 21 November 2025, 14 hours 16 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 21 November 2025 | 14 hours 16 minutes | Carrier |
| 25 February 2026 | 13 hours 45 minutes | Carrier |
| 29 August 2026 | 13 hours 5 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why JetBlue runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 60% of the 9,415 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 60%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%Carrier
- 7%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
60% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,415 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 37 to one. The split is drawn from 9,415 reported delay minutes.
The practical consequence: the 5am–8am departure is the one that starts clean. Its aircraft has no earlier leg to be late from, which is exactly why that window shows 95.9% on time here.
Cancellations run at 2.80%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 40 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 stage length
What a delay here costs
7.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,129 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 74.1% on time across 570 flights, 7 points below this direction. Departure banks, aircraft rotations and the congestion at each end all differ, so scoring the two directions together would average away a real 7 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 571 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 JetBlue on BQN to MCO
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 2.80% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you an hour and a half; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 5am–8am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 554 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
