These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 2769 flies

DL 2769 flies SEA to LAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:15, used on 141 of 365 flights, with 10:25 (37 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 10:15 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and DL 2769 runs level with that at 85.7%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Against the route

DL 2769 next to SEA to LAX

Across the year

DL 2769 quarter by quarter

DL 2769 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 94.4% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 74.4%, a swing of 20 points on roughly 91 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights94.4%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights81.8%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights74.4%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights92.1%

Scale runs 65% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 2769 did best on Tuesday at 92.5% on time and worst on Monday at 78.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2769 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 2,459 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
35%
Late-arriving aircraft
32%
National Airspace System
24%
Extreme weather
9%

The largest share of delay minutes, 35%, 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 864 of the 2,459 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,459 delay minutes reported on DL 2769.

Cancellations sit at 2.19% 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 3.1% 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 954 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 365 flights under DL 2769 in the data flew SEA to LAX. 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 2769
