These figures cover 318 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 5 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Across the year
DL 1094 quarter by quarter
DL 1094 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 96.7% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 68.7%, a swing of 28 points on roughly 64 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

Scale runs 60% to 100%.
By weekday, DL 1094 did best on Monday at 86.7% on time and worst on Thursday at 71.1%. Each day rests on about 45 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

|---|---|---|
| 6 September 2025 | 9 hours 3 minutes | Carrier |
| 28 February 2026 | 3 hours 22 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why DL 1094 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 42% of the 3,940 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 42%Late-arriving aircraft
- 38%Carrier
- 16%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
42% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,940 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 13 to one. The split is drawn from 3,940 delay minutes reported on DL 1094.
Cancellations run at 2.83%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 40 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
7.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 581 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
DL 1094 is not only a FLL to ATL flight. It also flew ATL to FLL (256 flights, 87.6% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 318 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
