Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| F92249 | 84.0% | 2.17% | -11 min | 6.3% | 645 |
| Frontier Airlines on SJU → MCO | 75.1% | 1.56% | -6 min | 10.7% | 3,977 |
| All SJU → MCO flights | 77.0% | 1.10% | -5 min | 8.8% | 19,399 |
F92249 has cancelled 2.17% of its scheduled departures (14 of 645), against 1.10% for all SJU → MCO flights — this specific departure cancels 1.1 percentage points more often than the route as a whole. Different flight numbers on the same route can carry different aircraft, crews and schedules, so this is a fact about F92249 specifically, not about the route it flies.

Why F92249 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 and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for F92249 on SJU → MCO. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies F92249 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, F92249 pushed back an average of 33 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 2 minutes early.
Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into SJU just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 557 of 632 departures in all. A departure is left out when that flight is unknown, was cancelled or diverted, or the aircraft had sat for more than 12 hours. A flight the airline cancelled never left and is not in the count, and one flown by a substitute aircraft is matched to the aircraft that flew it, not to the one first planned.
Against the network at the same turn length
| Share of departures | Inbound landed 15+ late | Left 15+ late after a late inbound | Left 15+ late after an on-time inbound |
|---|---|---|---|
| F92249 | 22% | 46% | 7% |
| Network, same turn | 17% | 68% | 9% |
The schedule leaves a normal turn: enough time to clean and board if the aircraft is on time, little to spare if it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 60 to 89 minutes. How often F92249’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often F92249 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves SJU late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MCO?
F92249 pushes back an average of 15.6 minutes late and reaches the gate at MCO an average of 8.0 minutes late. The 7.6 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. It spends 17.0 minutes on the taxiways at SJU, 1.4 minutes longer than a typical SJU departure in the same hour.
On arrival at MCO, F92249 spends 13.5 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 2.6 minutes longer than a typical MCO arrival (10.9 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 MCO. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 9,073 departures from SJU scheduled in the clock hour F92249 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at MCO (498,229 flights), not just F92249’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves SJU
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. F92249 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 9,073 departures from SJU are scheduled in the 6 AM–7 AM hour over the period, against 109,598 across the whole day.
F92249 is scheduled out of SJU at 6:00 AM, in the 6 AM–7 AM bank. Departures from SJU in that hour arrive on time 86.8% of the time against 76.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 10.6 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from SJU 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.

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. F92249 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 645 records of F92249 operating SJU → MCO, 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.
