B6424 from Los Angeles to New York, tracked live

B6424 distance and great-circle path

B6424 covers 3,974 km, or 2,470 miles. That makes it a medium-haul flight, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Of the 439 routes we track, it ranks 258 by distance.

Both ends of this route are in United States. It is 3,974 km of domestic flying north-east, from Los Angeles to New York. Watches move 3 hours forward between the two gates.

Our guide explains how the LAX-JFK route appears on a tracker map.

Can the Airbus A321 comfortably fly B6424?

Not really. It uses about 67% of the Airbus A321's range. That leaves room for a full load of passengers and bags. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A321.

What to know about B6424

• Time change: you land 3 hours ahead of the time you left.

What flying LAX to JFK takes

It is a medium-haul sector, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. JetBlue Airways needs a narrowbody on the longer variants, or a widebody where demand justifies it: at this distance the choice is usually about seat count rather than range. Eastbound, the jet stream is usually a tailwind, so the return leg against it tends to be the longer of the two. In daylight the sun sits on the right (south-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign JBU424 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 34 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-28. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

We track 2 scheduled services between Los Angeles and New York, split between American Airlines and JetBlue Airways. Among them, it is the only one flown with an Airbus A321.

Measured against B6424:

• AA238 (American Airlines) runs the same pairing.

Block time is gate to gate, so it counts taxi at both ends. That is why two flights covering identical distance rarely share a scheduled duration.

Our database contains 6 observations of B6424 across 6 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-28. Those records contain 5 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was LAX-JFK (6 records).

The median recorded visibility was 301 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.
