Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2382, check with Delta Air Lines.
DL 2382 earns a D−, which is as low as this site's scale goes for a reason. Only 57.9% of flights arrive inside the 15-minute window, 20 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. Late arrivals average an hour and a half. Treat any tight connection here as a coin flip. That rests on 316 flights, with a median arrival 1 minute early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so DL 2382 runs 20 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 197 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 316 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 22.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When DL 2382 flies
DL 2382 flies LGA to MIA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:15, used on 92 of 316 flights, with 19:45 (55 flights) and 19:55 (52 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 19:15 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and DL 2382 runs 10 points worse at 57.9%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
DL 2382 quarter by quarter
DL 2382 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 74.0% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 43.4%, a swing of 31 points on roughly 79 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.
- Jul–Sep 202579 flights53.4%
- Oct–Dec 202578 flights43.4%
- Jan–Mar 202679 flights74.0%
- Apr–Jun 202680 flights61.0%
Scale runs 35% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2382 did best on Tuesday at 66.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 48.9%. Each day rests on about 45 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why DL 2382 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 11,000 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.
- 48%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%Carrier
- 19%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
48% 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 11,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 48 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 10,683 delay minutes reported on DL 2382.
Cancellations run at 5.38%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 22.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 1,096 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.
Every one of the 316 flights under DL 2382 in the data flew LGA to MIA. 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. 316 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 2382
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 2382: 5.38% of its 316 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
