These figures cover 323 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 2110 flies
DL 2110 flies MSP to LAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 133 of 323 flights, with 07:05 (82 flights) and 07:10 (45 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 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 4 points worse at 85.7%. 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
Quarter by quarter DL 2110 held fairly steady: 90.2% in Jul–Sep 2025, 87.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 83.0% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 81.1% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights90.2%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights87.0%
- Jan–Mar 202648 flights83.0%

Scale runs 75% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2110 ranged from 82.2% on Sunday to 92.9% on Saturday. With about 46 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why DL 2110 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 46% of the 1,534 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.
- 46%Carrier
- 34%National Airspace System
- 16%Late-arriving aircraft
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 46%, 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 712 of the 1,534 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,534 delay minutes reported on DL 2110.
Cancellations are rare at 0.62%, 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 1.6% 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.
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: 85.7% on time and 0.62% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
