DL 1176 lands a B, 3 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 360 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.

These figures cover 360 flights between July 2025 and June 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.

Schedule

When DL 1176 flies

DL 1176 flies BWI to SLC without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:15, used on 152 of 360 flights, with 07:00 (83 flights) and 07:10 (55 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

A 07:15 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 1176 runs 9 points worse at 80.2%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Against the route

DL 1176 next to BWI to SLC

Across the year

DL 1176 quarter by quarter

DL 1176 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 92.4% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 68.9%, a swing of 24 points on roughly 90 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights92.4%

Jan–Mar 202689 flights82.6%

Scale runs 60% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 1176 did best on Tuesday at 88.5% on time and worst on Friday at 72.5%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 1176 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 56% of the 4,136 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Extreme weather
2%

The largest share of delay minutes, 56%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,314 of the 4,136 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,136 delay minutes reported on DL 1176.

Cancellations sit at 1.67% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.8% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

At 1,865 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

Every one of the 360 flights under DL 1176 in the data flew BWI to SLC. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 360 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.
