These figures cover 255 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

A 11:30 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.3%, and DL 2564 runs level with that at 80.2%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
DL 2564 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter DL 2564 held fairly steady: 84.1% in Jan–Mar 2026, 82.2% in Apr–Jun 2026 and 75.9% in Jul–Sep 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

- Jan–Mar 202690 flights84.1%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights82.2%
- Jul–Sep 202662 flights75.9%
Scale runs 65% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2564 did best on Wednesday at 88.6% on time and worst on Saturday at 72.2%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late DL 2564 runs when it is late
DL 2564 often beats the schedule: 104 of 242 completed flights, 43%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 48 late arrivals split 11 under half an hour, 20 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 17 an hour or more.

Share of 242 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
A late pushback is often recovered here: of 50 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 15 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 13 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 MCO.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 2564
The latest arrival of the period was on 27 December 2025, 3 hours 1 minute behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as national airspace system delay. The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 27 December 2025 | 3 hours 1 minute | National Airspace System |
| 8 August 2026 | 2 hours 35 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 5 April 2026 | 2 hours 31 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2564 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 43% of the 2,983 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 43%National Airspace System
- 36%Carrier
- 21%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 36%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,080 of the 2,983 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,983 delay minutes reported on DL 2564.
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 950 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 one other city pair in the data, including MCO to LGA (117), but none flew often enough under DL 2564 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LGA to MCO 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 2564
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 2564: 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.
