AA 1207 earns a D−, which is as low as this site's scale goes for a reason. Only 57.8% of flights arrive inside the 15-minute window, 20 points worse than the national rate of 77.3%. Late arrivals average an hour and a half. Treat any tight connection here as a coin flip. That rests on 334 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes late.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.3%, so AA 1207 runs 20 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 195 extra late arrivals.

Across the year
AA 1207 quarter by quarter
AA 1207 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 61.6% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 47.5%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 84 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 1207 did best on Tuesday at 66.7% on time and worst on Monday at 51.1%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes
Why AA 1207 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 58% of the 12,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 58%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%Carrier
- 5%Extreme weather
- 4%National Airspace System
- 0%Security
58% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 12,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 12 to one. The split is drawn from 11,796 delay minutes reported on AA 1207.
Cancellations run at 3.29%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
19.9% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 813 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.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including DFW to AUS (29), but none flew often enough under AA 1207 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to TUS only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 334 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 1207
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1207: 3.29% of its 334 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
