JFK to PBI questions
Is JFK–PBI running on time right now?
Significant delay risk. The arrival side at PBI is the weaker end, route health score 51/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from JFK to PBI?
Great-circle distance is 1,657 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 147–172 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does JFK–PBI fly?
JetBlue Airways runs the route with about 4 flights a week (sun, wed, thu, fri). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at JFK and arrival-side delay at PBI, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
