DL 1395 earns an A+. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 14 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs a little over an hour. That rests on 365 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 1395's record is 14 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 144 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 1395 flies

DL 1395 flies RSW to ATL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:00, used on 173 of 365 flights, with 08:21 (41 flights) and 08:10 (38 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

A 08:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and DL 1395 runs 8 points better at 92.0%. 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 1395 quarter by quarter

DL 1395 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 95.6% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 85.6%, a swing of 10 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights95.6%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights93.4%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights85.6%

Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 1395 did best on Wednesday at 100.0% on time and worst on Tuesday at 82.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 1395 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 47% of the 2,236 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.

18%
Extreme weather
2%

The largest share of delay minutes, 47%, 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 1,049 of the 2,236 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,236 delay minutes reported on DL 1395.

Cancellations are rare at 0.82%, 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 3.3% 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.

The 515 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 365 flights under DL 1395 in the data flew RSW to ATL. 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 1395

For a booking, DL 1395 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 92.0% on time and 0.82% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
