These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When DL 465 flies

DL 465 flies LAX to HNL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:55, used on 118 of 365 flights, with 13:35 (74 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 13:55 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 465 runs 4 points worse at 74.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 465 quarter by quarter

DL 465 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 79.3% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 69.2%, a swing of 10 points on roughly 91 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.

Jan–Mar 202690 flights77.5%

Scale runs 60% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 465 did best on Friday at 82.7% on time and worst on Saturday at 64.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 465 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 68% of the 6,239 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.

68%
Late-arriving aircraft
20%
National Airspace System
12%

The largest share of delay minutes, 68%, 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 4,265 of the 6,239 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 6,239 delay minutes reported on DL 465.

Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, 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

8.5% 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 2,556 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.
