These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 17 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 1360 flies
DL 1360 flies BIL to SLC without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 05:25, used on 90 of 365 flights, with 05:20 (89 flights) and 05:15 (81 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.
- Departs 05:2590 flights24.7%
- Departs 05:2089 flights24.4%
- Departs 05:1581 flights22.2%
Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 05:25 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 1360 runs 4 points better at 93.1%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

- Jul–Sep 202592 flights94.5%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights89.1%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights93.3%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights95.6%
Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 1360 ranged from 90.4% on Sunday to 96.2% on Wednesday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 6 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why DL 1360 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 73% of the 2,419 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.
- 73%Carrier
- 18%National Airspace System
- 9%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 73%, 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 1,768 of the 2,419 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,419 delay minutes reported on DL 1360.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, below the national 1.81% 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.0% 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.
Every one of the 365 flights under DL 1360 in the data flew BIL 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. 365 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 1360
For a booking, DL 1360 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 93.1% on time and 0.55% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
