Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2719, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2719 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 13 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 334 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2719's record is 13 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 125 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 334 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 2719 flies

DL 2719 flies MSP to LGA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 117 of 334 flights, with 06:55 (78 flights) and 06:57 (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 07:00 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 90.1%. 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 2719 quarter by quarter

DL 2719 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 97.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 86.1%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 84 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 2719 did best on Monday at 95.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 81.6%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2719 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 53% of the 1,911 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.

3%

The largest share of delay minutes, 39%, 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 754 of the 1,911 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,911 delay minutes reported on DL 2719.

Cancellations run at 2.99%, against 1.81% 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 3.4% 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 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. 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 334 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. 334 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: 2.99% of its 334 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
