A 15:20 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 71.9%, and DL 1419 runs level with that at 72.5%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 1419 quarter by quarter

DL 1419 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 81.1% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 63.6%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 90 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.

Scale runs 55% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 1419 did best on Saturday at 89.1% on time and worst on Sunday at 55.1%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 34 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Arrival by arrival

How late DL 1419 runs when it is late

DL 1419 often beats the schedule: 129 of 346 completed flights, 37%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 95 late arrivals split 36 under half an hour, 26 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 33 an hour or more.

Share of 346 completed flights by arrival against schedule.

18 of 82 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 22% of them. In the other direction, 31 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at FLL.

Delay causes

Why DL 1419 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 6,366 reported delay minutes.

National Airspace System
42%
Carrier
30%
Late-arriving aircraft
28%
Extreme weather
0%

42% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 2,645 minutes out of 6,366, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 6,366 delay minutes reported on DL 1419.

Cancellations run at 3.60%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 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

9.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The 1,069 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 one other city pair in the data, including FLL to JFK (222), but none flew often enough under DL 1419 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to JFK to FLL only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 361 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 1419

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 1419: 3.60% of its 361 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
