These figures cover 276 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When AA 1100 flies
AA 1100 flies DFW to BNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:37, used on 37 of 276 flights, with 12:29 (35 flights) and 12:53 (32 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 12:37 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and AA 1100 runs 4 points worse at 74.4%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.
Against the route
AA 1100 next to DFW to BNA
Every carrier on DFW to BNA combined arrived on time 67.2% of the time across 3,529 flights, so AA 1100 is 7 points ahead of it. American flew 3,131 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 66.0% on time. Across its whole network American Airlines managed 74.4%, close to this flight's figure.

Across the year
AA 1100 quarter by quarter
AA 1100 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 80.5% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 68.9%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 92 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 1100 did best on Tuesday at 79.5% on time and worst on Saturday at 65.7%. Each day rests on about 39 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 1100 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 45% of the 5,405 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.
- 45%Late-arriving aircraft
- 27%Carrier
- 17%National Airspace System
- 12%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 12% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,405 delay minutes reported on AA 1100.
Cancellations sit at 1.81% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.36%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 10.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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.
The 631 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including BNA to DFW (246), DFW to PHL (41) and DFW to LGA (38), but none flew often enough under AA 1100 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to BNA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 276 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 1100
For a booking, read AA 1100 as 74.4% on time with 1.81% cancelled over 276 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
