These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 1330 flies
DL 1330 flies BDL to MSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 153 of 364 flights, with 06:05 (47 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 1330 runs 5 points worse at 84.8%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
DL 1330 quarter by quarter
DL 1330 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 92.1% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 76.2%, a swing of 16 points on roughly 91 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.

By weekday, DL 1330 did best on Tuesday at 96.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 75.5%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why DL 1330 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 76% of the 2,916 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.
- 76%Carrier
- 23%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 76%, 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 2,219 of the 2,916 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,916 delay minutes reported on DL 1330.
Cancellations sit at 2.20% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.27%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.1% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 55 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,050 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
Every one of the 364 flights under DL 1330 in the data flew BDL to MSP. 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. 364 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.
What to do with this
Booking DL 1330
