Our guide explains how the IAH-LGA route appears on a tracker map.

Can the Airbus A321 comfortably fly DL1227?

Not at all. At roughly 38% of its range, this is an easy trip for an Airbus A321. The airline picked it for cabin size, not distance. The full numbers are on our aircraft page for the Airbus A321.

What we know about DL1227

What flying IAH to LGA takes

It is a medium-haul sector, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Delta Air Lines needs a narrowbody on the longer variants, or a widebody where demand justifies it: at this distance the choice is usually about seat count rather than range. In daylight the sun sits on the right (south-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign DAL1227 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 34 days between 2026-09-20 and 2026-10-23. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

DL1227 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 8 observations of DL1227 across 8 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-23. Those records contain 8 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was IAH-LGA (8 records).

The median recorded visibility was 238 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does DL1227 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Airbus A321-200, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown2,276 km
AircraftAirbus A321
Fuel burn rate3.61 kg per km
Fuel burned8,216 kg
CO2, whole flight26.0 tonnes
Seats, typical layout185
Passengers carried154 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger169 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 169 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy163 seats, 135 flown
139 kg CO2 per seat
Business22 seats, 18 flown
402 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, DL1227 emits what 433 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 992 km, or 4,817 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at a 0 km sector, the only published sector for this type, applied to this route's 2,276 km unadjusted. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put DL1227 against another flight.
