These figures cover 331 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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.

- 4%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 60%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,771 of the 4,611 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,611 delay minutes reported on DL 2819.
Cancellations sit at 0.91% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.30%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
7.0% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 930 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 CLT to MSP (191) and MCO to MSP (16), but none flew often enough under DL 2819 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MSP to CLT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 331 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 2819
