Atlantic City to West Palm Beach/Palm Beach

What the Data Says About ACY to PBI

The Atlantic City to West Palm Beach/Palm Beach corridor (ACY → PBI) covers roughly 936 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,038 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 65.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 792 flights were recorded on this pairing — 12 cancelled (1.5%) and 1 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 1,038 total flights analyzed, the 86.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 65.1-minute average delay applies only to flights that actually ran late, so it is not the average wait across all departures — the majority of flights on this route depart on time under the BTS definition of a delay (15+ minutes past schedule).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the ACY to PBI route, the combination of a 86.1% on-time rate, 65.1-minute average delay, 1.5% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
