These figures cover 7,346 departures from Austin-Bergstrom International in November 2025. On time means an arrival less than 15 minutes after the scheduled gate time, the DOT's threshold, and the national comparison uses every US departure in the same month rather than the whole year.

Departure window
The best time of day to leave AUS in November
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 26 points, against 10 points between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.
- 5am–8am1,458 flights89.3%
- 8am–11am1,074 flights88.7%
- 11am–2pm1,248 flights80.6%
- 2pm–5pm1,674 flights67.0%
- 5pm–8pm1,306 flights63.7%
- 8pm–5am586 flights63.5%
Scale runs 55% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 8pm–5am window is where this operation falls apart: 63.5% on time, against 89.3% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 2pm–5pm window is the busiest, with 1,674 flights scheduled in it.
Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 89.5% on time and Sunday the weakest at 63.6%. 26 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.
Carrier by carrier
Which airlines ran best at AUS in November
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. SkyWest Airlines arrives on time 82.8% of the time; American Airlines manages 72.7%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 1,084 flights means less than a ten-point one.
| Airline | Flights | On time | Avg delay | Cancelled | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Southwest Airlines | 3,153 | 74.3% | 59 min | 0.54% | C+ |
| American Airlines | 1,084 | 72.7% | 108 min | 2.77% | C |

SkyWest leads American by 10 points. Real, but small enough that a better departure time on the weaker carrier can outweigh it.

Delay causes
What held AUS up in November
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 47% of the 130,000 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.
- 47%Late-arriving aircraft
- 28%Carrier
- 23%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
47% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 130,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 26 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 130,415 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 1.05% against a national 2.49%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.16%.
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 7.8% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
What to do with this
Flying from AUS in November
