- Which airline is most on time from BDL to FLL?
- JetBlue, with a season-adjusted 71% chance of operating and arriving on time over 663 flights. The adjustment compares each airline with what the route did in the months it flew, so a carrier that skipped a stormy month gets no free credit.

- January (65% on time); the best was September (88%), averaged over Jun 2023 to May 2026.
