These figures cover 261 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 1195 quarter by 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.

By weekday, DL 1195 did best on Monday at 87.8% on time and worst on Friday at 70.7%. Each day rests on about 37 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Worst days for DL 1195
The latest arrival of the period was on 7 November 2025, 4 hours 9 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 7 November 2025 | 4 hours 9 minutes | Carrier |
| 24 October 2025 | 3 hours 10 minutes | Carrier |
| 7 December 2025 | 3 hours 1 minute | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why DL 1195 runs late
Carrier accounts for 75% of the 2,605 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 75%Carrier
- 15%Late-arriving aircraft
- 11%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 75%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,951 of the 2,605 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,605 delay minutes reported on DL 1195.
Cancellations are rare at 0.77%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.8% 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 696 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 1195 is not only a ATL to HOU flight. It also flew HOU to ATL (261 flights, 79.1% 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. 261 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.
