DL 3047 lands a B, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. Roughly one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by roughly 35 minutes on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 364 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 3047 flies

DL 3047 flies ATL to MYR without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:56, used on 41 of 364 flights, with 08:30 (38 flights) and 08:20 (38 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 08:56 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and DL 3047 runs 3 points worse at 81.5%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

DL 3047 quarter by quarter

DL 3047 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 91.2% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 58.4%, a swing of 33 points on roughly 91 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 3047 did best on Friday at 90.0% on time and worst on Tuesday at 75.5%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 3047 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 47% of the 2,424 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.

47% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 1,132 minutes out of 2,424, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 2,424 delay minutes reported on DL 3047.

Cancellations sit at 2.20% 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 2.2% 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.

DL 3047 is not only a ATL to MYR flight. It also flew MYR to ATL (348 flights, 90.6% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 364 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.
