Other routes B6217 has flown
A flight number is a slot in a schedule, and carriers reassign it. These are the other city pairs this number served in the analysis period.
| Route | Operated | Flights | On time |

| PHL→FLL Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale | 2025-07-03 – 2026-03-11 | 118 | 66.1% |

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 741 records of B6217 operating BOS → JFK, 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.
