Across the year

DL 2225 quarter by quarter

DL 2225 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 80.0% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 66.7%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 73 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 60% to 85%.

By weekday, DL 2225 did best on Tuesday at 86.5% on time and worst on Saturday at 62.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 24 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 358 completed flights by arrival against schedule.

12 of 72 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 17% of them. In the other direction, 35 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 MCO.

The largest share of delay minutes, 60%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 5,771 of the 9,626 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 9,626 delay minutes reported on DL 2225.

Cancellations sit at 1.10% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.55%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

11.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection 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.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including MCO to MSP (245), 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

For a booking, read DL 2225 as 73.5% on time with 1.10% cancelled over 364 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
