What the Data Says About BOS to RSW
The Boston to Fort Myers corridor (BOS → RSW) covers roughly 1,249 miles and is served by 18 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 11,475 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 75.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 72.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 4,608 flights were recorded on this pairing — 77 cancelled (1.7%) and 18 diverted (0.4%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.
Having 18 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 11,475 total flights analyzed, the 75.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 72.4-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, Sep 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 84% on-time, while Dec 2024 came in at 60% on-time — a 24-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BOS to RSW route, the combination of a 75.3% on-time rate, 72.4-minute average delay, 1.7% recent cancellation rate, and 18 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
