These figures cover 359 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 17 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.

| 7 August 2026 | 2 hours 59 minutes | Carrier |
| 4 July 2026 | 1 hour 18 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2369 runs late
Carrier accounts for 88% of the 476 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 88%Carrier
- 12%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 88%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 418 of the 476 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 476 delay minutes reported on DL 2369.
Cancellations are rare at 0.28%, 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 0.8% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 1,426 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.
Every one of the 359 flights under DL 2369 in the data flew PDX to MSP. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 359 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 2369
For a booking, DL 2369 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 97.5% on time and 0.28% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
