DL 2475 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 365 flights, with a median arrival 11 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2475'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 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 11 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 2475 flies

DL 2475 flies TPA to JFK without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:16, used on 125 of 365 flights, with 07:35 (83 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 07:16 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2475 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.

Across the year

DL 2475 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 2475 held fairly steady: 93.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 94.6% in Oct–Dec 2025, 94.1% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 92.3% 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights93.3%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights94.6%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights94.1%

Scale runs 85% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 2475 ranged from 90.0% on Saturday to 96.2% on Thursday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 6 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why DL 2475 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 66% of the 1,668 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
66%
National Airspace System
32%
Extreme weather
2%

The largest share of delay minutes, 66%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 1,106 of the 1,668 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,668 delay minutes reported on DL 2475.

Cancellations sit at 2.19% 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 2.5% 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 1,005 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 365 flights under DL 2475 in the data flew TPA to JFK. 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. 365 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 2475
