DL 2574 lands a B, 3 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 329 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

These figures cover 329 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.3% 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 2574 flies

DL 2574 flies SAV to MSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 15:10, used on 60 of 329 flights, with 15:04 (35 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 15:10 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and DL 2574 runs 8 points better at 80.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 2574 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 2574 held fairly steady: 82.2% in Jul–Sep 2025, 79.2% in Oct–Dec 2025, 78.3% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 81.8% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 4 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, DL 2574 did best on Tuesday at 84.4% on time and worst on Saturday at 71.4%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2574 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 61% of the 4,553 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.

61%
Carrier
20%
National Airspace System
17%
Extreme weather
2%

61% 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 4,553 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 28 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 4,553 delay minutes reported on DL 2574.

Cancellations sit at 1.22% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.30%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

8.3% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 1,092 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.

DL 2574 is not only a SAV to MSP flight. It also flew MSP to SAV (329 flights, 82.7% 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. 329 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.
