New York to Greensboro/High Point

What the Data Says About LGA to GSO

The New York to Greensboro/High Point corridor (LGA → GSO) covers roughly 461 miles and is served by 8 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 9,364 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 71.3 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,888 flights were recorded on this pairing — 142 cancelled (3.7%) and 6 diverted (0.2%). 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 9,364 total flights analyzed, the 82.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 71.3-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 94% on-time, while Oct 2025 came in at 66% on-time — a 28-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LGA to GSO route, the combination of a 82.9% on-time rate, 71.3-minute average delay, 3.7% recent cancellation rate, and 8 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
