These figures cover 255 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 3 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.

- Jan–Mar 202690 flights79.8%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights78.7%

Delay causes
Why DL 2941 runs late
Carrier accounts for 52% of the 2,600 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 52%Carrier
- 28%Late-arriving aircraft
- 14%National Airspace System
- 6%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 52%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,351 of the 2,600 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,600 delay minutes reported on DL 2941.
Cancellations sit at 1.18% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.39%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.0% 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 about 50 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 748 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 MSP to SRQ (74) and SRQ to MSP (74), but none flew often enough under DL 2941 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MSP to BIL only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 255 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 2941
