Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 419, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 419 sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 5 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land about an hour behind schedule. That rests on 358 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so DL 419 runs 5 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 53 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 358 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 2 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 419 flies

DL 419 flies SEA to HNL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 15:59, used on 147 of 358 flights, with 17:30 (70 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 15:59 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and DL 419 runs level with that at 72.3%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 419 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 419 held fairly steady: 75.6% in Jul–Sep 2025, 73.9% in Oct–Dec 2025, 67.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 71.4% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, DL 419 did best on Wednesday at 86.5% on time and worst on Friday at 54.9%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 32 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 419 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 56% of the 5,744 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.

Carrier
56%
National Airspace System
25%
Late-arriving aircraft
19%

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 3,201 of the 5,744 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,744 delay minutes reported on DL 419.

Cancellations are rare at 0.84%, below the national 1.81% 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

6.0% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

At 2,677 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 358 flights under DL 419 in the data flew SEA to HNL. 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. 358 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
