These figures cover 345 flights between July 2025 and June 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.

Schedule

When DL 2722 flies

DL 2722 flies JAX to ATL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 05:30, used on 143 of 345 flights, with 05:10 (61 flights) and 05:05 (50 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 05:30 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2722 runs 4 points better at 93.2%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

By weekday, DL 2722 ranged from 86.5% on Monday to 97.0% on Saturday. With about 49 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why DL 2722 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 69% of the 2,395 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
69%
National Airspace System
25%
Extreme weather
5%

The largest share of delay minutes, 69%, 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 1,656 of the 2,395 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,395 delay minutes reported on DL 2722.

Cancellations sit at 1.45% 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 2.4% 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.

Every one of the 345 flights under DL 2722 in the data flew JAX to ATL. 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. 345 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 2722

For a booking, DL 2722 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 93.2% on time and 1.45% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
