These figures cover 267 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 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 92.1%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

The worst days
Worst days for DL 2702
The latest arrival of the period was on 2 May 2026, 6 hours 6 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The five worst days are spread across May, December, July and October, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 2 May 2026 | 6 hours 6 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 14 December 2025 | 4 hours 22 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 11 July 2026 | 4 hours 13 minutes | Carrier |
| 5 October 2025 | 3 hours 12 minutes | Carrier |
| 27 December 2025 | 3 hours 11 minutes | National Airspace System |
Delay causes
Why DL 2702 runs late
Carrier accounts for 51% of the 2,146 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 51%Carrier
- 29%National Airspace System
- 19%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 51%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,099 of the 2,146 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,146 delay minutes reported on DL 2702.
Cancellations are rare at 0.37%, below the national 1.89% 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 4.5% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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.
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: 92.1% on time and 0.37% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
