What the Data Says About BGM to LGA

The Binghamton to New York corridor (BGM → LGA) covers roughly 147 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 650 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 103.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 650 flights were recorded on this pairing — 25 cancelled (3.8%) and 1 diverted (0.2%). 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 650 total flights analyzed, the 83.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 103.1-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).

Looking at recent months, Apr 2023 posted the best performance on this corridor at 93% on-time, while Feb 2023 came in at 75% on-time — a 18-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BGM to LGA route, the combination of a 83.2% on-time rate, 103.1-minute average delay, 3.8% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
