Albany to Orlando

What the Data Says About ALB to MCO

The Albany to Orlando corridor (ALB → MCO) covers roughly 1,073 miles and is served by 8 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,409 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 75.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 75.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,197 flights were recorded on this pairing — 23 cancelled (1.0%) and 11 diverted (0.5%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 8 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,409 total flights analyzed, the 75.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 75.4-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).

Looking at recent months, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while Mar 2024 came in at 58% on-time — a 34-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ALB to MCO route, the combination of a 75.3% on-time rate, 75.4-minute average delay, 1.0% recent cancellation rate, and 8 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
