DL 2711 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 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs roughly 55 minutes. That rests on 341 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, DL 2711's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 96 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 341 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 2711 flies
DL 2711 flies ATL to BWI without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:00, used on 124 of 341 flights, with 10:05 (38 flights) and 11:45 (36 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 11:00 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 2711 runs 8 points better at 87.2%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
DL 2711 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter DL 2711 held fairly steady: 83.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 87.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 88.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 90.0% 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 2711 did best on Friday at 97.9% on time and worst on Monday at 75.5%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 22 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why DL 2711 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 68% of the 2,277 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.
- 68%Carrier
- 27%Late-arriving aircraft
- 5%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 68%, 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 1,546 of the 2,277 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,277 delay minutes reported on DL 2711.
Cancellations sit at 1.76% 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 3.3% 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 577 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 2711 is not only a ATL to BWI flight. It also flew BWI to ATL (303 flights, 83.9% 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. 341 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.
