These figures cover 343 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 11 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.

By weekday, DL 3022 ranged from 80.0% on Sunday to 91.8% on Thursday. With about 49 flights behind each day, a spread of 12 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 30 December 2025 | 7 hours 56 minutes | Carrier |
| 7 December 2025 | 4 hours 36 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why DL 3022 runs late
Carrier accounts for 46% of the 3,402 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 46%Carrier
- 41%Late-arriving aircraft
- 7%Extreme weather
- 6%National Airspace System
41% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,402 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. The split is drawn from 3,402 delay minutes reported on DL 3022.
Cancellations sit at 2.33% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.6% 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.
Every one of the 343 flights under DL 3022 in the data flew ATL to HSV. 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. 343 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 3022
