These figures cover 282 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.

Delay causes

Why OO 5469 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 2,123 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
38%
Late-arriving aircraft
34%
National Airspace System
27%
Extreme weather
1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 38%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 816 of the 2,123 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,123 delay minutes reported on OO 5469.

Cancellations are rare at 0.71%, below the national 1.89% 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 4.3% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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.

The 776 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.

The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including TVC to ORD (47), TYS to ORD (24) and ORD to IDA (2), but none flew often enough under OO 5469 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to PSP only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 282 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 OO 5469

For a booking, OO 5469 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 85.7% on time and 0.71% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
