F93288

F93288 arrived on time 58.6% of the time, against 76.4% for all ATL → LGA flights, so this departure is 17.8 percentage points worse than the route as a whole. Against Frontier Airlines’ own flights on this route it is 1.4 points worse.

F93288’s scheduled departure has moved during the period FlyerIntel has on file: it typically left around 7:45 AM earlier on, and around 9:00 PM more recently — a 645-minute shift, not the few minutes of day-to-day rounding every published schedule carries. Confirm the current departure time before booking around an older listing.

F93288 has cancelled 5.27% of its scheduled departures (50 of 948), against 2.46% for all ATL → LGA flights — this specific departure cancels 2.8 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 F93288 specifically, not about the route it flies.

Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for F93288 on ATL → LGA. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, F93288 pushed back an average of 56 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 15 minutes late.

Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into ATL just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 782 of 909 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.

F93288 pushes back an average of 38.3 minutes late and reaches the gate at LGA an average of 36.1 minutes late. The 2.2 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 19.6 minutes on the taxiways at ATL, 2.6 minutes longer than a typical ATL departure in the same hour.

On arrival at LGA, F93288 spends 14.1 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 5.9 minutes longer than a typical LGA arrival (8.2 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 LGA. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 63,122 departures from ATL scheduled in the clock hour F93288 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at LGA (456,481 flights), not just F93288’s own. More on taxi time.

F93288 is scheduled out of ATL at 9:00 PM, in the 9 PM–10 PM bank. Departures from ATL in that hour arrive on time 73.6% of the time against 78.7% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 5.1 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.

The two airport figures cover every departure from ATL 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. F93288 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.
