These figures cover 291 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.3% 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 795 flies

DL 795 flies LAS to JFK without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:15, used on 35 of 291 flights, with 11:57 (34 flights) and 11:38 (31 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 12:15 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 795 runs level with that at 77.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 795 quarter by quarter

DL 795 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 85.1% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 73.3%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 97 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 795 did best on Saturday at 90.2% on time and worst on Sunday at 65.0%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 25 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 795 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 49% of the 5,080 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.

49% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 2,486 minutes out of 5,080, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 5,080 delay minutes reported on DL 795.

Cancellations sit at 2.41% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.72%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.3% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

At 2,248 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 JFK to LAS (138), but none flew often enough under DL 795 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAS to JFK only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 291 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.
