These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.

The worst days
Worst days for DL 313
The latest arrival of the period was on 5 December 2025, 5 hours 50 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on five of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 5 December 2025 | 5 hours 50 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 29 November 2025 | 4 hours 52 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 30 January 2026 | 4 hours 33 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 12 January 2026 | 4 hours 24 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why DL 313 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 70% of the 4,510 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 70%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%Carrier
- 9%National Airspace System
- 0%Extreme weather
70% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,510 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 70 to one. The split is drawn from 4,510 delay minutes reported on DL 313.
Cancellations are rare at 0.82%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 3,972 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.
Every one of the 365 flights under DL 313 in the data flew HNL to MSP. 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. 365 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 313
For a booking, DL 313 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 85.9% on time and 0.82% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
