Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 115, check with American Airlines.

AA 115 sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 6 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land about an hour behind schedule. That rests on 268 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 115 runs 6 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 64 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 268 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.1% 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 115 flies

AA 115 flies DFW to HNL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:30, used on 135 of 268 flights, with 09:15 (45 flights) and 09:00 (40 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 09:30 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AA 115 runs 13 points worse at 71.2%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

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 89 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 81.6% on time and worst on Saturday at 64.9%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 115 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 59% of the 4,980 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.

59%
National Airspace System
20%
Extreme weather
17%
Late-arriving aircraft
5%

Extreme weather accounts for 17% 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 2.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,980 delay minutes reported on AA 115.

Cancellations are rare at 0.75%, below the national 1.81% 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.1% 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.

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 268 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. 268 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
