These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 9 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.

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 2723 runs level with that at 88.0%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 28 April 2026 | 7 hours 43 minutes | Carrier |
| 1 February 2026 | 5 hours 36 minutes | Carrier |
| 7 August 2026 | 3 hours 56 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2723 runs late
Carrier accounts for 70% of the 2,935 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 70%Carrier
- 19%National Airspace System
- 6%Extreme weather
- 6%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 70%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,041 of the 2,935 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,935 delay minutes reported on DL 2723.
Cancellations run at 3.29%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about 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 3.7% 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 1,010 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 365 flights under DL 2723 in the data flew TPA 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. 365 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 2723
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 2723: 3.29% of its 365 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
