Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 413, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 413 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 50 minutes. That rests on 285 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 413's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 86 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 285 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 413 flies

DL 413 flies LAX to MSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:30, used on 84 of 285 flights, with 11:59 (36 flights) and 11:50 (34 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 11:30 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 413 runs 7 points better at 86.2%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Against the route

DL 413 next to LAX to MSP

Every carrier on LAX to MSP combined arrived on time 86.2% of the time across 2,156 flights, so DL 413 is about level with it. Across its whole network Delta Air Lines managed 81.6%, which this flight beats by 5 points.

Across the year

DL 413 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 413 held fairly steady: 86.8% in Jul–Sep 2025, 83.6% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 87.8% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 4 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights86.8%

Jan–Mar 202628 flights—

By weekday, DL 413 did best on Thursday at 95.0% on time and worst on Monday at 80.5%. Each day rests on about 41 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 413 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 1,943 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.

Extreme weather

46% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 1,943 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 13 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 1,943 delay minutes reported on DL 413.

Cancellations sit at 1.05% 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 4.6% 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.

At 1,535 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.

The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including DFW to ATL (61) and ATL to DFW (24), but none flew often enough under DL 413 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAX to MSP only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 285 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 413

For a booking, DL 413 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.2% on time and 1.05% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
