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 2026 at 58.2%, a swing of 27 points on roughly 96 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 84.6% on time and worst on Sunday at 66.7%. Each day rests on about 41 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes
Why DL 795 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 60% of the 4,937 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 60%National Airspace System
- 26%Late-arriving aircraft
- 12%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
60% 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 2,946 minutes out of 4,937, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 4,937 delay minutes reported on DL 795.
Cancellations run at 3.46%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
10.3% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection 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. 289 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 795
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 795: 3.46% of its 289 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
