DL 2702 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 15 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 267 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2702's record is 15 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 149 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 267 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 2702 flies

DL 2702 flies MCO to JFK without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 55 of 267 flights, with 07:33 (41 flights) and 08:05 (34 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 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2702 runs 3 points better at 92.5%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Against the route

DL 2702 next to MCO to JFK

Every carrier on MCO to JFK combined arrived on time 74.1% of the time across 4,899 flights, so DL 2702 is 18 points ahead of it.

Across its whole network Delta Air Lines managed 81.6%, which this flight beats by 11 points.

Across the year

DL 2702 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 2702 held fairly steady: 93.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 91.3% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 94.9% 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 2702 ranged from 89.7% on Tuesday to 97.3% on Wednesday. With about 38 flights behind each day, a spread of 8 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why DL 2702 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 43% of the 1,937 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
43%
National Airspace System
35%
Late-arriving aircraft
21%

The largest share of delay minutes, 43%, 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 837 of the 1,937 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,937 delay minutes reported on DL 2702.

Cancellations are rare at 0.37%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.2% 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 944 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 267 flights under DL 2702 in the data flew MCO 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. 267 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 2702

For a booking, DL 2702 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 92.5% on time and 0.37% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
