AA 102 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 7 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 288 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 102 runs 7 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 65 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 288 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 2 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Schedule

When AA 102 flies

AA 102 flies HNL to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:50, used on 120 of 288 flights, with 19:00 (48 flights) and 18:41 (44 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 19:50 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and AA 102 runs 3 points better at 71.1%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

AA 102 quarter by quarter

AA 102 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 84.4% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 60.5%, a swing of 24 points on roughly 96 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

By weekday, AA 102 did best on Wednesday at 78.9% on time and worst on Friday at 56.1%. Each day rests on about 41 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 102 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 51% of the 6,183 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.

Extreme weather

The largest share of delay minutes, 51%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 3,129 of the 6,183 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 6,183 delay minutes reported on AA 102.

Cancellations sit at 2.08% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.69%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

6.1% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

At 3,784 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

Every one of the 288 flights under AA 102 in the data flew HNL to DFW. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 288 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.

What to do with this

Booking AA 102

For a booking, AA 102 is one of the weaker ways to fly HNL to DFW: 7 points below the route as a whole. If the schedule allows, compare it with the other departures listed on the route page before settling on this one.
