These figures cover 353 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. On-time means an arrival less than 15 minutes after the scheduled gate time, the same threshold the Department of Transportation uses in its own reports. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and counted separately, which is why the cancellation column matters on its own.

A 10:20 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and DL 464 runs 8 points worse at 76.2%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

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 464 ranged from 71.2% on Saturday to 82.4% on Monday. With about 50 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Share of 349 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
12 of 57 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 21% of them. In the other direction, 38 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at SLC.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 464
The latest arrival of the period was on 27 January 2026, 17 hours 6 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 27 January 2026 | 17 hours 6 minutes | Carrier |
| 6 February 2026 | 9 hours 36 minutes | Carrier |
| 18 September 2025 | 9 hours 5 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 7 February 2026 | 6 hours 40 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 464 runs late
Carrier accounts for 69% of the 7,325 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 69%Carrier
- 19%National Airspace System
- 12%Late-arriving aircraft
- 0%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 69%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 5,047 of the 7,325 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 7,325 delay minutes reported on DL 464.
Cancellations are rare at 0.85%, 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 2,105 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 353 flights under DL 464 in the data flew BOS to SLC. 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. 353 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
