These figures cover 363 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.9% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When DL 2107 flies
DL 2107 flies MSP to SNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:15, used on 81 of 363 flights, with 18:35 (56 flights) and 18:25 (38 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 18:15 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and DL 2107 runs 3 points worse at 65.1%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
DL 2107 quarter by quarter
DL 2107 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 75.6% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 54.1%, a swing of 21 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.

- Oct–Dec 202590 flights54.1%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights69.4%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights75.6%
Scale runs 45% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2107 did best on Wednesday at 75.0% on time and worst on Thursday at 53.8%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why DL 2107 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 62% of the 8,003 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.
- 62%Carrier
- 18%Late-arriving aircraft
- 17%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 62%, 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 4,957 of the 8,003 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 8,003 delay minutes reported on DL 2107.
Cancellations sit at 1.65% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.38%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.9% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
At 1,522 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.
Every one of the 363 flights under DL 2107 in the data flew MSP to SNA. 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. 363 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.
