These figures cover 344 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 14 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 2795 flies
DL 2795 flies MSO to SLC without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 05:30, used on 123 of 344 flights, with 05:20 (59 flights) and 05:25 (57 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 2795 runs 2 points better at 91.5%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
DL 2795 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter DL 2795 held fairly steady: 90.8% in Jul–Sep 2025, 90.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 89.4% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 95.6% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 6 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202587 flights90.8%
- Oct–Dec 202580 flights90.0%
- Jan–Mar 202686 flights89.4%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights95.6%
Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2795 did best on Monday at 98.0% on time and worst on Thursday at 83.7%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why DL 2795 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 63% of the 4,857 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.
- 63%Carrier
- 22%Late-arriving aircraft
- 12%Extreme weather
- 3%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 12% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,857 delay minutes reported on DL 2795.
Cancellations are rare at 0.29%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.4% 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 344 flights under DL 2795 in the data flew MSO to SLC. 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. 344 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 2795
For a booking, DL 2795 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 91.5% on time and 0.29% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
