Each mark is a scheduled departure at its origin-local time, observed operating in the last 7 days. Today is highlighted.
Actual board outcomes rather than schedules, paired departure and arrival per flight and day.
Conditions are tightest at SNA: a 32% chance of a 15+ minute delay. In this weather, the more delayed of the two airports is typically about +2 min. Both figures come from the two airports' delay records in similar weather. See live delays → · Weather risk by airport →

Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop SNA to MSP flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at SNA is the weaker end, route health score 82/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Great-circle distance is 2,446 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 203–240 min gate-to-gate on this route.
Delta Air Lines runs the route with about 11 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
A blend of departure-side delay at SNA and arrival-side delay at MSP, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
