Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2647, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2647 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 12 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 261 flights, with a median arrival 11 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2647's record is 12 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 119 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 261 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 2647 flies

DL 2647 flies SAN to MSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:50, used on 41 of 261 flights, with 11:54 (36 flights) and 08:25 (35 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 07:50 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2647 runs level with that at 89.5%. 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 2647 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 2647 held fairly steady: 91.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 92.4% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 85.9% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 7 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, DL 2647 ranged from 85.0% on Thursday to 94.1% on Tuesday. With about 37 flights behind each day, a spread of 9 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why DL 2647 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 2,299 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
41%
Late-arriving aircraft
21%
National Airspace System
19%
Extreme weather
19%

Extreme weather accounts for 19% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 3.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,299 delay minutes reported on DL 2647.

Cancellations sit at 1.15% 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 3.5% 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.

At 1,532 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including RDU to ATL (19), ATL to MSY (14) and MSY to ATL (14), but none flew often enough under DL 2647 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SAN to MSP only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 261 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 2647

For a booking, DL 2647 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 89.5% on time and 1.15% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
