Across the year
AA 115 quarter by quarter
AA 115 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 80.5% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 56.7%, a swing of 24 points on roughly 83 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 115 did best on Wednesday at 83.0% on time and worst on Thursday at 59.6%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 326 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
20 of 73 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 27% of them. In the other direction, 45 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at HNL.
The worst days

|---|---|---|
| 25 January 2026 | 8 hours 40 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 10 July 2026 | 4 hours 30 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 115 runs late
Carrier accounts for 56% of the 6,008 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 56%Carrier
- 23%National Airspace System
- 14%Extreme weather
- 6%Late-arriving aircraft
Extreme weather accounts for 14% 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 2.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,008 delay minutes reported on AA 115.
Cancellations are rare at 0.61%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
8.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 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 330 flights under AA 115 in the data flew DFW to HNL. 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. 330 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 115
For a booking, read AA 115 as 69.9% on time with 0.61% cancelled over 330 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
