JetBlue on MCO to BQN sits in the middle of the pack with a C. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 3 points worse than the national rate of 77.3%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 570 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate JetBlue on MCO to BQN from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

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 29 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am155 flights92.2%
- 8am–11am10 flights—
- 11am–2pm72 flights62.9%
- 2pm–5pm164 flights66.5%
- 5pm–8pm28 flights—
- 8pm–5am141 flights75.9%
Scale runs 55% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The weak window here is the middle of the day, not the evening: 11am–2pm runs 62.9% on time against 92.2% for 5am–8am. That shape usually means a departure bank rather than an accumulating delay, so the recovery later in the afternoon is real rather than noise. The 2pm–5pm window is the busiest, with 164 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
JetBlue on MCO to BQN through the year
December is the weak month at 52.5% on time, against 90.0% in April. 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 74 flights.
Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 84.0% on time and Sunday the weakest at 68.4%, a spread of 16 points.

Delay causes
Why JetBlue runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 9,870 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Late-arriving aircraft
- 37%Carrier
- 12%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
48% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,870 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 13 to one. The split is drawn from 9,870 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 37%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 3,613 of the 9,870 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations sit at 2.11% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.53%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
10.8% 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 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 81.4% on time across 571 flights, 7 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 7 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 570 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 MCO to BQN
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 570 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 74.1% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 555 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
