DL 1702 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 13 points better than the national rate of 77.6%.

These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 1702 flies

DL 1702 flies SAV to ATL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:40, used on 95 of 365 flights, with 06:50 (74 flights) and 06:41 (37 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 06:40 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 1702 runs level with that at 90.2%. 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 1702 quarter by quarter

DL 1702 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 93.4% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.6%, a swing of 12 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.

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

By weekday, DL 1702 did best on Tuesday at 94.2% on time and worst on Sunday at 81.6%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 1702 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 60% of the 3,175 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.

Carrier
60%
Extreme weather
29%
National Airspace System
11%

Extreme weather accounts for 29% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 4.6 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,175 delay minutes reported on DL 1702.

Cancellations sit at 1.92% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.8% 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 1702 in the data flew SAV 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 1702

For a booking, read DL 1702 as 90.2% on time with 1.92% cancelled over 365 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
