These figures cover 323 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 8 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.

A 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2110 runs 3 points worse at 86.0%. 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 2110 quarter by quarter
DL 2110 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 100.0% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 81.1%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 65 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 2110 did best on Saturday at 92.9% on time and worst on Sunday at 80.0%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late DL 2110 runs when it is late
DL 2110 often beats the schedule: 99 of 321 completed flights, 31%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. Most of the lateness is short. 29 of the 45 late arrivals were under half an hour behind, and 6 reached an hour or more.

Share of 321 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
A late pushback is often recovered here: of 30 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 10 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 25 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 LAX.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 2110
The latest arrival of the period was on 20 May 2026, 2 hours 1 minute behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 20 May 2026 | 2 hours 1 minute | Carrier |
| 17 June 2026 | 1 hour 22 minutes | Carrier |
| 27 May 2026 | 1 hour 19 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 19 January 2026 | 1 hour 10 minutes | Carrier |
| 19 March 2026 | 1 hour 7 minutes | Carrier |
Delay causes
Why DL 2110 runs late
Carrier accounts for 48% of the 1,453 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Carrier
- 39%National Airspace System
- 10%Late-arriving aircraft
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 48%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 700 of the 1,453 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,453 delay minutes reported on DL 2110.
Cancellations are rare at 0.62%, below the national 1.89% 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 1.9% 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.
At 1,535 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.
The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including CHA to ATL (24) and ATL to CHA (19), but none flew often enough under DL 2110 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MSP to LAX only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 323 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 2110
For a booking, DL 2110 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.0% on time and 0.62% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
