West Palm Beach/Palm Beach to Atlantic City

What the Data Says About PBI to ACY

The West Palm Beach/Palm Beach to Atlantic City corridor (PBI → ACY) 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 85.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 76.4 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 85.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 76.4-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the PBI to ACY route, the combination of a 85.8% on-time rate, 76.4-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.
