What stands out
How B666 compares to other flight numbers, not just to itself.
This flight's worst arrivals run unusually far past its typical one — a bigger gap than 96% of 11,788 comparable flight numbers.
A typical arrival is 2 min late, but the worst tenth run 110 minutes worse than that.

Why B666 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
crew, maintenance, boarding, fueling — within the carrier’s control
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
screening or terminal security incidents
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for B666 on ABQ → JFK. 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 ABQ late, does that still matter by the time it reaches JFK?
B666 pushes back an average of 48.7 minutes late and reaches the gate at JFK an average of 41.4 minutes late. The 7.3 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, which is why a late pushback on this flight does not reliably become a late arrival. Its 13.2 minutes on the taxiways at ABQ is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at JFK, B666 spends 8.7 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 2.8 minutes shorter than a typical JFK arrival (11.5 min).
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 JFK. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 541 departures from ABQ scheduled in the clock hour B666 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at JFK (351,546 flights), not just B666’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves ABQ
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. B666 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 541 departures from ABQ are scheduled in the 11 PM–12 AM hour over the period, against 76,013 across the whole day.
B666 is scheduled out of ABQ at 11:59 PM, in the 11 PM–12 AM bank. Departures from ABQ in that hour arrive on time 60.2% of the time against 83.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 23.0 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from ABQ 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.

Other routes B666 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| RSW→BOS Fort Myers to Boston | January 7, 2025 – April 28, 2026 | 234 | 81.9% |
Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route B666 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.
When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
112 min late
against a median of 2 min late
B666 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 2 min late, but the worst tenth are 110 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 624 operations. Cancelled and diverted flights have no arrival time and are counted separately rather than as very late arrivals.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 624 records of B666 operating ABQ → 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.
