Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2337, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2337 earns an A. Nearly every flight arrives inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 16 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs a little over an hour. That rests on 267 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2337's record is 16 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 160 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 267 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 2337 flies

DL 2337 flies MCI to LAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 95 of 267 flights, with 07:26 (55 flights) and 07:08 (36 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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2337 runs 4 points better at 93.6%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Against the route

DL 2337 next to MCI to LAX

Every carrier on MCI to LAX combined arrived on time 82.0% of the time across 1,290 flights, so DL 2337 is 12 points ahead of it. Delta flew 619 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 92.2% on time. Across its whole network Delta Air Lines managed 81.6%, which this flight beats by 12 points.

Across the year

DL 2337 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 2337 held fairly steady: 94.5% in Jul–Sep 2025, 93.3% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 92.1% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 2 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, DL 2337 ranged from 89.5% on Wednesday to 100.0% on Friday. With about 38 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why DL 2337 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 83% of the 1,214 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
83%
Extreme weather
13%
National Airspace System
5%

Extreme weather accounts for 13% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 1,214 delay minutes reported on DL 2337.

Cancellations sit at 1.12% 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 2.7% 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 1,363 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 ATL to GSO (24), but none flew often enough under DL 2337 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MCI to LAX only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 267 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 2337

For a booking, DL 2337 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 93.6% on time and 1.12% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
