Carrier by carrier
JetBlue against every carrier on FLL to CLT
JetBlue flew 162 of the 3,060 flights on FLL to CLT, about 5% of it. Its 58.2% on time is 19 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 77.2%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from American at 82.7% to JetBlue at 58.2%. One of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. American Airlines arrives on time 82.7% of the time; Spirit Airlines manages 68.5%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 606 flights means less than a ten-point one.

Spirit Airlines cancels 4.8% of what it schedules here, the highest in the table. A cancelled flight never appears in an on-time rate, so read that column alongside the punctuality one rather than after it.

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 21 points, against 14 points between the best and worst carrier.

- 8am–11am—
- 11am–2pm54 flights69.8%

- 8pm–5am54 flights49.1%
Scale runs 40% to 75%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 8pm–5am window is where this operation falls apart: 49.1% on time, against 69.8% for the 11am–2pm 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 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 54 flights scheduled in it.

Share of 158 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
11 of 69 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 16% of them. In the other direction, 8 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 CLT.

Worst days for JetBlue on FLL to CLT
The latest arrival of the period was on 10 August 2026, 5 hours 6 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. Four of the five worst days fell in July 2026.

Delay causes
Why JetBlue runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 60% of the 4,547 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 60%Late-arriving aircraft
- 28%Carrier
- 11%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
60% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,547 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 60 to one. The split is drawn from 4,547 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 1.85% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.62%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
17.1% 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 632 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 79.7% on time across 160 flights, 22 points above 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 22 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 162 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 FLL to CLT
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 162 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor and not enough to be confident to better than a couple of points. The 58.2% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 158 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
