Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2262, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2262 earns a B. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 50 minutes. That rests on 364 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2262's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 68 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 2262 flies

DL 2262 flies MSP to LAS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:00, used on 67 of 364 flights, with 09:25 (55 flights) and 08:50 (42 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 09:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and DL 2262 runs level with that at 84.4%. 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 2262 quarter by quarter

DL 2262 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 92.3% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 78.7%, a swing of 14 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.

By weekday, DL 2262 did best on Saturday at 90.0% on time and worst on Wednesday at 71.2%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 19 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2262 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 52% of the 2,815 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.

Carrier
52%
National Airspace System
30%
Late-arriving aircraft
14%
Extreme weather
4%

The largest share of delay minutes, 52%, 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 1,461 of the 2,815 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,815 delay minutes reported on DL 2262.

Cancellations sit at 1.10% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.6% 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.

The 1,299 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 LAS to MSP (143), but none flew often enough under DL 2262 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MSP to LAS 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 2262

For a booking, read DL 2262 as 84.4% on time with 1.10% cancelled over 364 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
