These figures cover 255 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 15 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.

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 1382 runs level with that at 87.9%. 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 1382 quarter by quarter
DL 1382 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 95.5% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.2%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 85 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 1382 did best on Thursday at 91.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 77.1%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes
Why DL 1382 runs late
Carrier accounts for 81% of the 2,780 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 81%Carrier
- 17%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 81%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,243 of the 2,780 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,780 delay minutes reported on DL 1382.
Cancellations run at 2.75%, 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.6% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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.
The 961 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.
The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including SFO to ATL (58) and DTW to MEM (1), but none flew often enough under DL 1382 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BTV to ATL only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 255 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 1382
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 1382: 2.75% of its 255 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
