These figures cover 255 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 7 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.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 07:05 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2465 runs 11 points worse at 78.3%. 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 2465 quarter by quarter
DL 2465 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 83.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 73.2%, a swing of 10 points on roughly 85 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.

- Jan–Mar 202690 flights73.2%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights83.3%
- Jul–Sep 202662 flights75.4%
Scale runs 65% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2465 did best on Saturday at 88.6% on time and worst on Thursday at 65.7%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late DL 2465 runs when it is late
DL 2465 often beats the schedule: 76 of 244 completed flights, 31%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 53 late arrivals split 24 under half an hour, 12 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 17 an hour or more.

Share of 244 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 21 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 2 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 34 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at FLL.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 2465
The latest arrival of the period was on 19 July 2026, 3 hours 45 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as national airspace system delay. On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage).

Delay causes
Why DL 2465 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 51% of the 2,979 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 51%National Airspace System
- 41%Carrier
- 7%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 41%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,232 of the 2,979 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,979 delay minutes reported on DL 2465.
Cancellations run at 4.31%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 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
7.0% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,076 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.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including FLL to LGA (239), ATL to BNA (75) and BNA to ATL (75), but none flew often enough under DL 2465 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LGA to FLL only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 255 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 2465
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 2465: 4.31% of its 255 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
