Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2933, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2933 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 11 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs roughly 55 minutes. That rests on 349 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2933's record is 11 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 109 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 349 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 2933 flies

DL 2933 is scheduled to leave Hartford (BDL) at 06:00 local time and reach Atlanta (ATL) at 08:59. That slot held for 349 of the 349 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2933 runs level with that at 88.5%. 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 2933 next to BDL to ATL

Across its whole network Delta Air Lines managed 81.6%, which this flight beats by 7 points.

Across the year

DL 2933 quarter by quarter

DL 2933 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 95.6% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.5%, a swing of 14 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.

By weekday, DL 2933 did best on Tuesday at 95.9% on time and worst on Sunday at 80.9%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2933 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 65% of the 2,057 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.

Extreme weather

The largest share of delay minutes, 65%, 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 1,339 of the 2,057 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,057 delay minutes reported on DL 2933.

Cancellations sit at 2.01% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.86%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.4% 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.

The 859 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.

The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including MSY to DTW (14) and DTW to MSY (14), but none flew often enough under DL 2933 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BDL to ATL only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 349 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 2933

For a booking, read DL 2933 as 88.5% on time with 2.01% cancelled over 349 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
