These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.2% 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 2225 flies

DL 2225 flies MSP to MCO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:45, used on 132 of 364 flights, with 12:50 (124 flights) and 13:00 (41 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 12:45 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 2225 runs 5 points worse at 73.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 2225 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 2225 held fairly steady: 72.2% in Jul–Sep 2025, 78.7% in Oct–Dec 2025, 70.5% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 73.6% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Oct–Dec 202591 flights78.7%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights70.5%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights73.6%

Scale runs 60% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 2225 did best on Tuesday at 84.9% on time and worst on Saturday at 62.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 22 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2225 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 62% of the 9,598 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.

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 5,964 of the 9,598 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 9,598 delay minutes reported on DL 2225.

Cancellations sit at 1.10% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.55%.

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. 11.2% 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.

The 1,310 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including MCO to MSP (223), but none flew often enough under DL 2225 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MSP to MCO only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 364 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 2225
