These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 755 flies

DL 755 flies LAS to ATL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 287 of 365 flights. 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 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 755 runs 5 points better at 94.5%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

DL 755 quarter by quarter

DL 755 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 98.9% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 88.8%, 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights98.9%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights93.4%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights88.8%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights96.7%

Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 755 ranged from 86.5% on Thursday to 98.1% on Tuesday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 12 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why DL 755 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 82% of the 3,843 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
82%
National Airspace System
10%
Late-arriving aircraft
8%

The largest share of delay minutes, 82%, 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 3,166 of the 3,843 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 3,843 delay minutes reported on DL 755.

Cancellations are rare at 0.82%, 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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.9% 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 1,747 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 755 in the data flew LAS to ATL. 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.

What to do with this

Booking DL 755

For a booking, DL 755 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 94.5% on time and 0.82% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
