These figures cover 334 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

A 07:30 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2411 runs level with that at 89.6%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
DL 2411 quarter by 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 2411 did best on Saturday at 95.3% on time and worst on Sunday at 81.8%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The latest arrival of the period was on 5 August 2026, 4 hours 36 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 5 August 2026 | 4 hours 36 minutes | Carrier |
| 20 August 2026 | 4 hours 34 minutes | Carrier |
| 8 February 2026 | 4 hours 12 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2411 runs late
Carrier accounts for 67% of the 2,442 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 67%Carrier
- 26%National Airspace System
- 6%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 67%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,645 of the 2,442 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,442 delay minutes reported on DL 2411.
Cancellations run at 5.39%, against 1.89% 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.1% 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 1,183 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 2411 is not only a LGA to MSY flight. It also flew MSY to LGA (279 flights, 84.0% 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. 334 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 2411
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 2411: 5.39% of its 334 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
