DL 3034 earns an A. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 9 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 326 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 3034's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 92 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 326 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 3034 flies

DL 3034 flies ATL to DAB without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 22:40, used on 73 of 326 flights, with 22:39 (43 flights) and 22:30 (37 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 22:40 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and DL 3034 runs 16 points better at 86.8%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

DL 3034 quarter by quarter

DL 3034 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 94.5% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 83.7%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 82 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 3034 did best on Friday at 93.3% on time and worst on Sunday at 72.7%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 3034 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 56% of the 2,423 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.

56%
National Airspace System
23%
Late-arriving aircraft
19%
Extreme weather
3%

The largest share of delay minutes, 56%, 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 1,352 of the 2,423 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,423 delay minutes reported on DL 3034.

Cancellations sit at 2.15% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.7% 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 326 flights under DL 3034 in the data flew ATL to DAB. 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. 326 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 3034

For a booking, read DL 3034 as 86.8% on time with 2.15% cancelled over 326 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
