Across the year
DL 465 quarter by quarter
DL 465 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2026 at 93.5% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 69.2%, a swing of 24 points on roughly 73 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 465 did best on Wednesday at 84.6% on time and worst on Sunday at 71.2%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 363 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
26 of 88 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 30% of them. In the other direction, 20 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 HNL.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 465
The latest arrival of the period was on 2 January 2026, 10 hours 4 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). Three of the five worst days fell in December 2025.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 2 January 2026 | 10 hours 4 minutes | Carrier |
| 24 September 2025 | 5 hours 52 minutes | Carrier |
| 20 December 2025 | 3 hours 19 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 465 runs late
Carrier accounts for 65% of the 5,525 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 65%Carrier
- 22%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 65%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 3,612 of the 5,525 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,525 delay minutes reported on DL 465.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, 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
8.0% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 2,556 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 465 in the data flew LAX 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. 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.
