When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
78 min late
against a median of 1 min late

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 715 records of B62055 operating BOS → DCA, published by the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A flight counts as delayed when it arrives 15 or more minutes after schedule. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and reported separately. Flight numbers are resolved as carrier plus number plus route, because the same number serves different routes over time.
