These figures cover 346 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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.

A 07:15 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 760 runs 11 points worse at 78.6%. 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 760 quarter by quarter
DL 760 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2026 at 84.2% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 73.0%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 69 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 760 did best on Friday at 86.0% on time and worst on Saturday at 69.7%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 336 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
9 of 52 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 17% of them. In the other direction, 29 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 DFW.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 760
The latest arrival of the period was on 19 January 2026, 5 hours 46 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 19 January 2026 | 5 hours 46 minutes | Carrier |
| 6 January 2026 | 4 hours 57 minutes | Carrier |
| 7 September 2025 | 3 hours 56 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why DL 760 runs late
Carrier accounts for 58% of the 4,348 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 58%Carrier
- 34%National Airspace System
- 6%Late-arriving aircraft
- 2%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 58%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,515 of the 4,348 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,348 delay minutes reported on DL 760.
Cancellations sit at 2.31% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.58%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.8% 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 1,562 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.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including DFW to BOS (147), but none flew often enough under DL 760 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BOS to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 346 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
