Why B62355 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
crew, maintenance, boarding, fueling — within the carrier’s control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for B62355 on BOS → DCA. A single late flight can carry more than one cause, and only delays of fifteen minutes or more are attributed at all.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves BOS late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DCA?
On arrival at DCA, B62355 spends 6.9 min taxiing from touchdown to the gate — ground time a connecting passenger sits through before they can even leave the aircraft, on top of however late the flight itself ran. That is about what any arrival at DCA spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
Departure delay is averaged over every pushback and arrival delay over every completed arrival, so the two counts differ by the flights that never reached DCA. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 24,278 departures from BOS scheduled in the clock hour B62355 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at DCA (435,126 flights), not just B62355’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves BOS
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. B62355 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 24,278 departures from BOS are scheduled in the 7 PM–8 PM hour over the period, against 440,893 across the whole day.
B62355 is scheduled out of BOS at 7:10 PM, in the 7 PM–8 PM bank. Departures from BOS in that hour arrive on time 65.1% of the time against 77.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 12.1 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from BOS to every destination, so they describe the slot rather than this journey — the like-for-like comparison against the route is above. Hours are scheduled local, and a number whose schedule moved between banks inside the period has no single hour and is not described here at all. Why the hour matters.

When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
71 min late
against a median of 1 min early
B62355 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 1 min early, but the worst tenth are 72 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.
Percentiles over 613 operations. Cancelled and diverted flights have no arrival time and are counted separately rather than as very late arrivals.

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. B62355 is placed in the same ordering rather than left out of it; the rows around it are the most punctual departures on the route, not all of them, so this is a comparison and not a rank. Schedules change; confirm the departure still operates before booking around this.
Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 613 records of B62355 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.
