Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2274, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2274 lands a B+, 3 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by an hour and a half on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 322 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.

These figures cover 322 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 5 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 2274 flies

DL 2274 flies PHX to MSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:00, used on 60 of 322 flights, with 13:45 (47 flights) and 13:40 (37 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 14:00 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and DL 2274 runs 9 points better at 80.9%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 2274 quarter by quarter

DL 2274 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 95.0% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 72.8%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 81 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 2274 did best on Wednesday at 87.2% on time and worst on Tuesday at 75.0%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2274 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 5,356 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.

53%
Carrier
27%
National Airspace System
12%
Extreme weather
8%

53% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 5,356 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 5,356 delay minutes reported on DL 2274.

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

7.2% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says 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. 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.

DL 2274 is not only a PHX to MSP flight. It also flew MSP to PHX (271 flights, 80.8% 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. 322 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.
