Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 867, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 867 draws a C. About one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is about 55 minutes behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 363 flights, with a median arrival 4 minutes late.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so DL 867 runs 11 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 110 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 363 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.4% 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 867 flies

DL 867 flies LAX to MCO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:45, used on 60 of 363 flights, with 11:00 (57 flights) and 10:50 (54 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 10:45 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and DL 867 runs 18 points worse at 66.6%. 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 867 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 867 held fairly steady: 70.0% in Jul–Sep 2025, 66.7% in Oct–Dec 2025, 60.5% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 68.9% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 10 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Oct–Dec 202592 flights66.7%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights60.5%

Scale runs 50% to 75%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 867 did best on Wednesday at 74.5% on time and worst on Sunday at 54.0%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 867 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 6,458 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
39%
National Airspace System
37%
Late-arriving aircraft
24%
Extreme weather
0%

The largest share of delay minutes, 39%, 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 2,545 of the 6,458 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 6,458 delay minutes reported on DL 867.

Cancellations sit at 1.65% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.28%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

8.4% 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 55 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.

At 2,218 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 MCO to LAX (216), but none flew often enough under DL 867 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAX to MCO only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 363 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 867

For a booking, DL 867 is one of the weaker ways to fly LAX to MCO: 11 points below the route as a whole. If the schedule allows, compare it with the other departures listed on the route page before settling on this one.
