DL 2762 earns an F, which is as low as this site's scale goes for a reason. Only 53.2% of flights arrive inside the 15-minute window, 24 points worse than the national rate of 77.3%. Late arrivals average about an hour. Treat any tight connection here as a coin flip. That rests on 266 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes late.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.3%, so DL 2762 runs 24 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 241 extra late arrivals.

Across the year
DL 2762 quarter by quarter
DL 2762 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 90.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 18.5%, a swing of 72 points on roughly 67 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.

By weekday, DL 2762 did best on Tuesday at 69.0% on time and worst on Thursday at 42.9%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 26 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 263 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 103 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 12 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 32 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 SFO.

Delay causes
Why DL 2762 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 56% of the 6,970 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 56%National Airspace System
- 23%Carrier
- 21%Late-arriving aircraft
- 0%Extreme weather
56% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 3,908 minutes out of 6,970, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 6,970 delay minutes reported on DL 2762.
Cancellations sit at 1.13% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
16.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 599 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.
The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including SFO to SLC (52) and LAS to JFK (16), but none flew often enough under DL 2762 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SLC to SFO only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 266 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 2762
For a booking, DL 2762 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 16.0% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
