What we know about DL1244

What flying LGA to ORD takes

It is a short-haul sector, a single-aisle hop where turnaround time matters more than range. Delta Air Lines needs a narrowbody such as an A320 or 737 family aircraft: comfortably inside single-aisle range with fuel to spare for a diversion. In daylight the sun sits on the left (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 DAL1244 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 41 days between 2026-09-19 and 2026-10-29. 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.

DL1244 against the rest of the LGA-ORD pairing

We track 2 scheduled services between New York and Chicago, split between Delta Air Lines and United Airlines. Among them, it is the only one flown with a Boeing 737-800.

Measured against DL1244:

Block time is gate to gate, so it counts taxi at both ends. That is why two flights covering identical distance rarely share a scheduled duration.

DL1244 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 8 observations of DL1244 across 8 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-29. Those records contain 7 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was LGA-ORD (8 records).

The median recorded visibility was 1371 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does DL1244 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 737-800, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown1,177 km
AircraftBoeing 737-800
Fuel burn rate3.59 kg per km
Fuel burned4,221 kg
CO2, whole flight13.3 tonnes
Seats, typical layout162
Passengers carried134 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger100 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 100 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy143 seats, 119 flown
81 kg CO2 per seat
Business19 seats, 16 flown
234 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, DL1244 emits what 222 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 585 km, or 2,844 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 926 km sector, the only published sector for this type, applied to this route's 1,177 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 DL1244 against another flight.
