Tonight’s is showing a 23 minute delayed arrival even if the plane left the JFK gate 5 minutes ahead of schedule; this usually means longer-than-normal flight time…
Are you saying this is a general JFK-CDG problem rather than just a problem with 262? Would you know of the underlying reason?

We're on this flight early next week and I'm trying to figure out if these recent delays imply any issue for our flight, including how long it will take us to leave CDG.
