These figures cover 333 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 7 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.

The worst days
Worst days for DL 2274
The latest arrival of the period was on 26 September 2025, 6 hours 32 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as extreme weather. The five worst days are spread across September, July, November, March and January, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 26 September 2025 | 6 hours 32 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 21 July 2026 | 5 hours 24 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 4 November 2025 | 5 hours 19 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2274 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 5,315 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 53%Late-arriving aircraft
- 28%Carrier
- 11%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
53% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,315 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 to one. The split is drawn from 5,315 delay minutes reported on DL 2274.
Cancellations are rare at 0.60%, 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
7.6% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,276 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.
DL 2274 is not only a PHX to MSP flight. It also flew MSP to PHX (271 flights, 80.5% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 333 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.
