These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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.

A 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 1361 runs level with that at 89.8%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Delay causes
Why AA 1361 runs late
Carrier accounts for 63% of the 7,070 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 63%Carrier
- 24%Late-arriving aircraft
- 11%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 63%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 4,419 of the 7,070 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 7,070 delay minutes reported on AA 1361.
Cancellations run at 3.01%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly 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
6.2% 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 3.3 hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,345 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.
Every one of the 365 flights under AA 1361 in the data flew RNO 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. 365 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 1361
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1361: 3.01% of its 365 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 3.3 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
