These figures cover 340 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

A 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2719 runs level with that at 88.4%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Share of 329 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
A late pushback is often recovered here: of 34 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 13 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 17 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at LGA.

Delay causes
Why DL 2719 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 54% of the 2,109 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 54%National Airspace System
- 39%Carrier
- 4%Extreme weather
- 3%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 39%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 815 of the 2,109 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,109 delay minutes reported on DL 2719.
Cancellations run at 2.94%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.6% 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 1,020 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 340 flights under DL 2719 in the data flew MSP to LGA. 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. 340 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 2719
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 2719: 2.94% of its 340 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
