DL 2756 lands a B−, about a point worse than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by an hour and a half on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 346 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

These figures cover 346 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.8% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When DL 2756 flies
DL 2756 flies MSP to LGA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:25, used on 60 of 346 flights, with 13:20 (56 flights) and 13:48 (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 13:25 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 2756 runs 2 points worse at 76.4%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
DL 2756 quarter by quarter
DL 2756 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 85.4% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 64.6%, a swing of 21 points on roughly 87 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.

- Oct–Dec 202581 flights64.6%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights72.0%
- Apr–Jun 202683 flights82.7%
Scale runs 55% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2756 did best on Tuesday at 86.3% on time and worst on Sunday at 68.8%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why DL 2756 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 43% of the 6,472 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.
- 43%National Airspace System
- 43%Carrier
- 11%Late-arriving aircraft
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 43%, 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 2,771 of the 6,472 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 6,472 delay minutes reported on DL 2756.
Cancellations run at 3.18%, against 1.81% 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
8.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
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 346 flights under DL 2756 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. 346 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 2756
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 2756: 3.18% of its 346 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
