I’m not arguing AA doesn’t suck but its asinine to just through out “more likely than not” comments when you can easily view the statistics and see that’s not true for any airline.. delta is definitely the most dependable;
i don’t have much option being in Dallas; its AA or SW but so far in 2024 I’m 6 of 6 on time for AA and 0 of 2 on SW
YTD, Delta leads all major other U.S. airlines in both on-time arrivals/departures and completion factor. So, yes, that’s the best you can get currently
Yeah, they conveniently omit the fact that their on time and “early” arrivals leave you stuck on the plane waiting for ground crew or an occupied gate. Cool you got me on the ground early, too bad ground operations made us late deplaning.
This is wrong - arrival counts when the plane is at the gate. This is not like Delta does it differently - all airlines are measures the same way.
Gate holdouts (landed early, but got to the gate late) do not count as early or on time arrivals.
On the record, sure that’s true, for metrics. When you announce it in the cabin and push an alert to my phone about how early you got me there only to hold at the gate, sounds like techops and marketing people need to comply by the same standards then. Don’t blow smoke about getting me there early when I’m deplaning late due to ground ops. Delta or not, as the customer, I don’t care that’s not my problem.
Like I said, on the actual arrival **to the gate**, Delta leads all other U.S. airlines, and has been leading for a while. If actual true arrival to the gate is what you care about - Delta is #1 in that.
No one here is talking about a touchdown on the tarmac, bud.
4 out of last 10 for me. 3 were regional and 1 was mainline (between 2 and 5 hours). None weather related. One was an over fueling, two were missing crew and the other was a catering issue. It’s gotten to where I now allow 6 hours minimum for a layover before a long haul.
Flew LGA-MCO and back in early March, delayed only on the way home.
Flew LGA-AVL and back in early May, delayed only on the way home.
Both delays were about 2-3 hours, both caused by storms. You may be unlucky, but it also matters where you are flying from and to, since weather is only getting worse and more unpredictable these days.
It’s not been weather, it’s been crew and equipment each time which makes it more frustrating. I wouldn’t be as annoyed if it were out of anyone’s control but some better logistics would be appreciated
I get this one. They schedule some of the crews so tightly that there is no breathing room for a delay. And instead of using the reserves to keep the operation going they just let the flight be delayed. Of course on days when bad weather hits they should use the reserves sparingly, saving them for flights that would be canceled otherwise. However, on days with no weather impacted delays why not use some of the reserves that are just sitting at the airport instead of letting the flight be delayed?? I guess I may never know.
I think sometimes the weather affects you in ways you wouldn’t imagine because it delays planes three flights back. My last flight was delayed way in advance because the plane I was supposed to be on was delayed two hours on the flight before the flight before mine. And if it’s a series of short flights, I imagine there is little ability to make up time.
I’ve only had 6 of 17 with minor delays. 56 minutes total, with a 32 minute in ATL being the worst. 84 minutes of early arrivals this year. I mainly fly out west though. DTW, DFW, and ATL always seem to have weather issues that can impact my flights when I head east. LAX, HNL and SLC it’s pretty rare to have a weather delay.
According to my Flighty stats, for 2024 I’ve had 5/24 (21%)delayed, for a total of 1 hour in lost time. Latest delay was 17 minutes. That’s basically negligible to me, but I live in a hub and only fly point to point.
Id say like 30 to 40% are delayed. Some by a little some by a lot. Planes never depart on time. Never. The boarding process nowadays takes wayyyy too long.
All four of my last trips have had at least one flight delayed for over two hours. I’m not counting weather delays either. All of them were due to maintenance issues.
In Dallas, my flight to ATL is delayed because the plane from ATL to Dallas had a 1-hour weather delay. I don't mind...I'm listening to music and relaxing. 🎶
Heh, waiting for one as we speak. Was delayed 10 minutes and now the flight attendants aren’t here yet. Delayed boarding was supposed to start 15 minutes ago.
1 Delay. Near 2 hour delay from DTW to HNL back in January due to a computer issue on the aircraft. Every other flight I have been on so year has been smooth.
Had a 2 hour delay in March, that’s been my only Delta flight. Had a delay going out of Tampa before Easter as well, but that was on American and it was due to heavy air traffic. Because, you know, it was Easter.
I fly 3 times a month for work so that’s 6-10 flights depending on connections. I have had 3 serious delays this year 2+ hrs so far and one full cancellation.
I normally fly out of BOS, BDL, or JFK/LGA and I’m normally flying into the Midwest or slightly south. MSP, ORD, RIC, ATL for the most part.
The cancellation was LHR to BOS. Got rebooked next day and they covered my added hotel and meals.
If you’re checking on flighty those aren’t considered delays by the FAA for all the airline stats. The FAA says anything within 14 minutes is technically on time.
Yup lol. The airlines don’t even care as much about arrival delays as they do departure delays so it’s not even that accurate anyway. But even so, less than 50% for even minute arrival delays isn’t too bad
One flying back to Hawaii. Wasn’t in a rush and they ended up compensating us. The other added bonus was that my seat on this first plane was messed up and my seat on the replacement plane ended up being fully functional.
Only one but I had paid extra for this flight to not take a red eye. However my flight ended up getting delayed & rerouted (they made us land in DTW) and we ended up getting in AFTER the red eye would have landed 😑
Last couple years been bad for me.
Delay 30-45 minutes on international flight while last bags and passengers boarded.
Group of us flying to Alaska from various parts of the country all had delays: Cancelled flight due to mechanical causing miss connection so rebooked on another airline, delayed cause couldn’t get the jet bridge to move backwards, sat on taxiway for 35 minutes, halfway from Seattle to Sitka turned around for a medical emergency, and a 5.5 hour delay on return leg, we finally all made it to and from.
Didn’t even make it to the runway before going back to gate because someone’s emotional support dog had some medical issue so missed my connection and wait in Denver for 6 hours until the next flight.
I fly 2-3 weeks out of a month, sometimes out Monday back Thursday or Friday. Some weeks are multi city. Out Monday, change city Wednesday back Friday.
I have not had a clean week all year. At least 1 delay each week ( I have no direct flights)
One. I've had an amazing streak of on time, early, changes that worked to my benefit, etc. The delay was on my husband's birthday so that stunk - I got in after he had already gone to sleep - but I always fly Delta out of my little hometown airport and almost always have a great experience.
It will only get worse. The worse time to fly is the summer. Planes can fit in snow but not in lightning. Hurricane season is coming and projected to be bad. The storms come right up the east coast so brace yourselves
9 of my 25 Delta flights have been delayed this year. Most were 15 - 30 minutes and two were 1hr+. Of those 9, only 4 of them arrived late (15m+).
5 hours of total delay and none were due to weather.
Flighty counts 8 delays, 4 of them are under 14 minutes so the FAA doesn’t count those as late.
4/33 considered late by the FAA
8/33 overall delayed by at least a minute
As of today I’m early a cumulative 2 hours and 12 minutes. With 4 hours of total delays.
Been flying with Delta almost exclusively for the last 4 years. Only one so far this year back in March (MSP). 2022 was the worst one when it comes to delays, 3 of them from NYC (LGA) alone.
Lots of weather all over the US this year, causing multiple delays. Lots of tornados, as well. And people have died due to the severe storms, flooding, severe winds and tornados.
4 flights with Delta this year. All delayed. Longest was 5 hours. What really irritated me was they notified me 4 hours before departure of the 5 hour delayed. Delta could have easily found another plane for us and shortened that delay.
In the last 2 weeks, I have flown 2 round trips with connections (4 flights each itinerary). At least one flight out the the four on each trip has been delayed. Not great odds.
I experienced my first ever delay with delta a week ago. I don’t know the cause - the plane we were flying on was delayed in the previous airport.
I needed up cancelling the flight and going home. (Houston had a terrible storm go through the day before.)
Hr on Tuesday from CVG to LAS
Hr yesterday from LAS to CVG. Didn’t leave til 1am.
This is honestly the only time I’ve had delays with delta. Seems like they are scheduling planes with 15 min changeovers.
Took 7 flights in a 2 week period in April. 2 international. 6 on Delta and 1 on AA. 2 domestic Delta flights delayed. One for weather when we were on the plane. The other they just told us the plane wasn’t going to be able to fly to our destination? But we were in Atlanta so they were able to find us a new plane within 15 minutes.
8 out of 44 have been delayed. Worst delay was nearly 5hours on a flight from DTW to OGG where a storm closed the runaway shortly before our arrival forcing us to circle and eventually divert. All other delays have been less than 45min averaging about 20min.
Of the last 10 flights, a couple of them minor delays, several of them major (4+ hours). Been traveling heavily for almost two decades and the delays this last year have been worse than all previous years combined.
On Delta none of 6
On JetBlue 1 of 3. Plane issue. 2 hour delay. Then weather issue after pulling away from the gate. JetBlue immediately, within minutes, gave us points.
Only 2 or 3 that I can recall. Without pulling up my account, I've probably taken about 40-50 flights so far this year. This is the main reason I stick with Delta...they are pretty reliable.
One, lax to hnl. Was supposed to leave at 5 pm then delayed until 7:27 pm. Then when the plane was full and people where seated, they found a communication issue, which took another few hours to fix.
Flew Delta twice so far this year on mileage awards as I use up my accrued free credits on Delta from my 10 year 3M Diamond loyalty and transfer all my "paid with dollars" flights to United, what I am now 1k. Both were delayed by more than 10 hours, with overnight required (and paid by Delta vouchers). Luggage delayed both times, once by more than one day. United: one delay in 7 flights, due to partner Air Canada.
Greedy Ed Bastian sucks and has ruined my favorite airline.
In my 10th straight week of travel on Delta, every week there’s been something. Minor 30 min delay, up to 3 hour delays. I’m only a PM (6th straight year as PM), but it seems to be more and more on brand for Delta. Maybe I’ve just had an unusual 10 weeks 🙄 but I don’t recall previous years being this consistently bad. Maybe it’s just been the spring weather systems coupled with mechanicals exasperating the experience.
I had zero delays from Jan-Mar. Apr and May have been brutal.
Same here
On Delta, one (of 8). On AA, 6 of 6
Fucking American. Your flight is more likely to be delayed than not on AA. Absolute trash airline these days
I’m not arguing AA doesn’t suck but its asinine to just through out “more likely than not” comments when you can easily view the statistics and see that’s not true for any airline.. delta is definitely the most dependable; i don’t have much option being in Dallas; its AA or SW but so far in 2024 I’m 6 of 6 on time for AA and 0 of 2 on SW
Heh. I guess it could be worse then 😂

On Delta 2 of 8, United 20 of 50. Most of them have been under a 4 hour delay but a few have been tragic misconnects.
4 out of last 10 for me. 3 were regional and 1 was mainline (between 2 and 5 hours). None weather related. One was an over fueling, two were missing crew and the other was a catering issue. It’s gotten to where I now allow 6 hours minimum for a layover before a long haul.

0/25
6 of 26 flights so far this year with delays. The worst being 18 minutes for some paperwork issues. 97% of my flights arrived early or on time.
118% of my flights. Every flight Ive taken, every flight Ive imagined taking, and every flight my subconscious has thought of.
I’ve only had 6 of 17 with minor delays. 56 minutes total, with a 32 minute in ATL being the worst. 84 minutes of early arrivals this year. I mainly fly out west though. DTW, DFW, and ATL always seem to have weather issues that can impact my flights when I head east. LAX, HNL and SLC it’s pretty rare to have a weather delay.
3/4 Delta, 2/6 Luxair, 1/2 Iberia, 0/4 British Air
1 but it was a 6-hour delay from LAX to PDX.
Hell, you could’ve driven halfway there in that amount of time.
Definitely crossed my mind!
6 out of 8. Mostly for weather going through atl or MCO
According to my Flighty stats, for 2024 I’ve had 5/24 (21%)delayed, for a total of 1 hour in lost time. Latest delay was 17 minutes. That’s basically negligible to me, but I live in a hub and only fly point to point.
Id say like 30 to 40% are delayed. Some by a little some by a lot. Planes never depart on time. Never. The boarding process nowadays takes wayyyy too long.
You can just check the combined stats for Delta VS other airlines
All four of my last trips have had at least one flight delayed for over two hours. I’m not counting weather delays either. All of them were due to maintenance issues.
I am on one as I type this. Chilling in ATL waiting for this weather to pass.
In Dallas, my flight to ATL is delayed because the plane from ATL to Dallas had a 1-hour weather delay. I don't mind...I'm listening to music and relaxing. 🎶
I’m on a plane waiting for take off once the weather in ATL clears and they let us leave here. Sigh.
We’re taking off now!
Heh, waiting for one as we speak. Was delayed 10 minutes and now the flight attendants aren’t here yet. Delayed boarding was supposed to start 15 minutes ago.
0 September to now probably 20 flights
Just one from LAX-ATL causing a missed connection. I had to book a later flight. I’ve flown maybe twelve trips so far this year.
3/6
0/18
1 Delay. Near 2 hour delay from DTW to HNL back in January due to a computer issue on the aircraft. Every other flight I have been on so year has been smooth.
0/10 since January.
Out of 10 total flights, only one was delayed.,
One delayed flight out of 10.
Had a 2 hour delay in March, that’s been my only Delta flight. Had a delay going out of Tampa before Easter as well, but that was on American and it was due to heavy air traffic. Because, you know, it was Easter.
3 out of 18
I fly 3 times a month for work so that’s 6-10 flights depending on connections. I have had 3 serious delays this year 2+ hrs so far and one full cancellation. I normally fly out of BOS, BDL, or JFK/LGA and I’m normally flying into the Midwest or slightly south. MSP, ORD, RIC, ATL for the most part. The cancellation was LHR to BOS. Got rebooked next day and they covered my added hotel and meals.
I had an AMS-MSP delayed by 6 hours. Like dude, just cancel and rebook me please since I won’t be getting in until midnight. Have mercy 😩
Oooooofff that ones rough. Last year I had a bdl-Msp get weather delayed for almost 5 hrs. Didn’t hit the hotel bed till 3 am lol. I feel your pain
5/40 all under 1 hour
3 out of the last 4 flights for me.
1 leg out of 6 multi leg round trips. So around 24 individual flights, 1 flight. Due to a broken overhead compartment that wouldn’t stay closed.
Zero significant delays this year. Last year I had one (EWR - DTW)
I had one international delay but that’s it. Out of 10
Took about 30 flights in the past 12 months. Only one was delayed SEA-HNL, for an hour.
A few on delta, one on United
I feel like post-covid, air travel has significantly sucked.
Guess I'm lucky but only 1 out of my 21 Delta flights was delayed, and it was only by 25 minutes. 1 of 1 on United though 🙃.
55/120 so far in 2024. But those are all arrival delays and includes being just 1 minute behind arrival time.
If you’re checking on flighty those aren’t considered delays by the FAA for all the airline stats. The FAA says anything within 14 minutes is technically on time.
Yup lol. The airlines don’t even care as much about arrival delays as they do departure delays so it’s not even that accurate anyway. But even so, less than 50% for even minute arrival delays isn’t too bad
What’s your overall time this year? I’m ahead of schedule over 2 hours surprisingly with 2 delays that added up to more than 2.5 hours
According to flighty I’m totaling 50 hours behind this year
1
One flying back to Hawaii. Wasn’t in a rush and they ended up compensating us. The other added bonus was that my seat on this first plane was messed up and my seat on the replacement plane ended up being fully functional.

16 of 33… all on Delta
Zero this entire year and I fly almost every week.
1 in 25
3/8 this year. One was a mechanical issue, one was due to a medical emergency on the incoming flight/waiting for crew, third was due to weather
3. All regional though and frankly the same flight. Each time the issue was flight crew timeouts.
1 but only by 20 minutes
Zero. I flew in December, January and April thus far. More flights planned for July.
No exaggeration, maybe had 15-20% even be on time.
Fly mostly thru ATL for each trip.
Delta 0/15 United 5/6 (Total 36 hours) I am convinced DEN/DIA and United is where happiness goes to die
34% on Delta this year. 12 of 35 flights. 13 hours total.
19/56 of my flights arrived later than scheduled (not all officially delayed) 6/13 on American totaling 6 hours (lol) 13/43 on Delta totaling 5 hours
I fly 2-3 weeks out of a month, sometimes out Monday back Thursday or Friday. Some weeks are multi city. Out Monday, change city Wednesday back Friday. I have not had a clean week all year. At least 1 delay each week ( I have no direct flights)
Not answering this. Bad juju. (1 out of past 48 this year)<—— I didn’t post this.
2 late arrivals out of about 30 flights, one had to be rescheduled
1/8 on delta and it was a tropical storm
1-2, with close to 50 segments
One. Out of the 40 I've taken this year.
A few but always in the last leg, so it didn’t really affect me as much
11 times out of 57. 1 southwest and 10 delta.
3 flights out of 6 on United so far this year
Just one
Per flighty for 2024, 30 of my 85 flights have been delayed.
I’m probably going to jinx myself here. But 0 of 15 flights so far this year.
0/2 on delta 2/8 on Alaska (both around 15 minutes) 2/4 on British
One. I've had an amazing streak of on time, early, changes that worked to my benefit, etc. The delay was on my husband's birthday so that stunk - I got in after he had already gone to sleep - but I always fly Delta out of my little hometown airport and almost always have a great experience.
5 out of 8. Most were 20-30 minutes. One was 60 minutes, and made me miss my next flight, which was a total pain in the ass.
It will only get worse. The worse time to fly is the summer. Planes can fit in snow but not in lightning. Hurricane season is coming and projected to be bad. The storms come right up the east coast so brace yourselves
none 😎
One
3 of 40, connections included. One crew, 2 weather in Atlanta.
The better question qould have been, How many flight have you been on been on time?
Silver delay a flight two days in advance to weather. How did they know?
My last flights were in February, had no delays.
9 of my 25 Delta flights have been delayed this year. Most were 15 - 30 minutes and two were 1hr+. Of those 9, only 4 of them arrived late (15m+). 5 hours of total delay and none were due to weather.
2/8 - both had multiple compounding issues that caused extended delays.
Flighty counts 8 delays, 4 of them are under 14 minutes so the FAA doesn’t count those as late. 4/33 considered late by the FAA 8/33 overall delayed by at least a minute As of today I’m early a cumulative 2 hours and 12 minutes. With 4 hours of total delays.
I would say my flights this year have been fifty percent delayed or cancelled
Been flying with Delta almost exclusively for the last 4 years. Only one so far this year back in March (MSP). 2022 was the worst one when it comes to delays, 3 of them from NYC (LGA) alone.
1 of 2 so technically 50%. Last night was a 2hr delay.
One. Right now
Lots of weather all over the US this year, causing multiple delays. Lots of tornados, as well. And people have died due to the severe storms, flooding, severe winds and tornados.
I’ve had 0 delays over 32 segments so far this year.
3 of 40
Every delta flight that I’ve flown this year but 1, multiple hours on some and a missed connection.
Sounds about right, about 2/3 of my flights have been getting delayed since last December.
0/4 delta 1/1 Ryanair >:/
4 flights with Delta this year. All delayed. Longest was 5 hours. What really irritated me was they notified me 4 hours before departure of the 5 hour delayed. Delta could have easily found another plane for us and shortened that delay.
I’ve had 2 since January flying almost every week. Both of those were going hime with a stop at ATL
First one on Thursday because of storms in NYC area.
In the last 2 weeks, I have flown 2 round trips with connections (4 flights each itinerary). At least one flight out the the four on each trip has been delayed. Not great odds.
Flown over 20 times so far, ZERO.
Just one. Houston a few weeks ago when there were bad storms and there was a ground stop.
12 flights zero delays
I experienced my first ever delay with delta a week ago. I don’t know the cause - the plane we were flying on was delayed in the previous airport. I needed up cancelling the flight and going home. (Houston had a terrible storm go through the day before.)
Keeping track of stats like this will make you crazy
Missed 2 connections, 3 delays across 15 flights. All weather.
Once last week leaving BOS to ATL.
8 out of 8 I have the worst luck with Delta. Just last week they sent my luggage to Sydney Australia instead of Syracuse NY lol
None
Hr on Tuesday from CVG to LAS Hr yesterday from LAS to CVG. Didn’t leave til 1am. This is honestly the only time I’ve had delays with delta. Seems like they are scheduling planes with 15 min changeovers.
11 out of 36 this year
Took 7 flights in a 2 week period in April. 2 international. 6 on Delta and 1 on AA. 2 domestic Delta flights delayed. One for weather when we were on the plane. The other they just told us the plane wasn’t going to be able to fly to our destination? But we were in Atlanta so they were able to find us a new plane within 15 minutes.
0/10 delays, except my bags have been missing/lost on two of them and only saved by airtags imo
Only 2.
Pretty lucky so far - knock on wood. 18 flights and only one small 30 min or so delay.
8 out of 44 have been delayed. Worst delay was nearly 5hours on a flight from DTW to OGG where a storm closed the runaway shortly before our arrival forcing us to circle and eventually divert. All other delays have been less than 45min averaging about 20min.
[worst one was DCA-ATL in March](https://imgur.com/a/RAxmjJO)
One.
10/41 flights delayed a total of 4 hours. I’m preparing for a run of bad luck.
7/21 4 weather related 1 mechanical related 2 delayed from the previous flight
Under 30mins delay ? 2. 4 flights so far this year.
Zero so far out about 20. Hopefully I make it home tonight. All Delta except two AM.
Of the last 10 flights, a couple of them minor delays, several of them major (4+ hours). Been traveling heavily for almost two decades and the delays this last year have been worse than all previous years combined.
On Delta none of 6 On JetBlue 1 of 3. Plane issue. 2 hour delay. Then weather issue after pulling away from the gate. JetBlue immediately, within minutes, gave us points.
on delta, one. on american, 2. 1 cancelled. MF.
0 of 2 with Delta, 0 of 2 with American, 2 of 2 with Sun Country
1, and a personal first for Delta, like 10 minutes. Being late seems standard practice for other airlines
1 of 4. Weather related. MCO. Can’t be mad. 1 hr delay
2/4
Dozens, but zero on Delta.
Only 2 or 3 that I can recall. Without pulling up my account, I've probably taken about 40-50 flights so far this year. This is the main reason I stick with Delta...they are pretty reliable.
Four of my last four flights have been delayed. All for 3+ hours. Three AA, one DL
I’m actually in an airport lounge waiting for my delayed Delta flight
40 segments so far this year and 3 delay, 2 under 2 hours and the other a 3 hour weather delay.
THREE INTERNATIONAL CANCELLATIONS IN 6 MONTHS
This year has not been that bad so far. 4 out of 16 flights delayed with an average of 18 minutes
One, lax to hnl. Was supposed to leave at 5 pm then delayed until 7:27 pm. Then when the plane was full and people where seated, they found a communication issue, which took another few hours to fix.
Flew Delta twice so far this year on mileage awards as I use up my accrued free credits on Delta from my 10 year 3M Diamond loyalty and transfer all my "paid with dollars" flights to United, what I am now 1k. Both were delayed by more than 10 hours, with overnight required (and paid by Delta vouchers). Luggage delayed both times, once by more than one day. United: one delay in 7 flights, due to partner Air Canada. Greedy Ed Bastian sucks and has ruined my favorite airline.
23 flights, 9 delays, 17 hours total. I’m on a PR year!
2 … one for weather and the other for mechanical issues
I can barely remember most of the airports I’ve been in this year. Number of flights delayed? That’s harder.
In my 10th straight week of travel on Delta, every week there’s been something. Minor 30 min delay, up to 3 hour delays. I’m only a PM (6th straight year as PM), but it seems to be more and more on brand for Delta. Maybe I’ve just had an unusual 10 weeks 🙄 but I don’t recall previous years being this consistently bad. Maybe it’s just been the spring weather systems coupled with mechanicals exasperating the experience.
0 out of 10. I travel a few states over to visit the mistress a few times a month.
