AA 1373 sits in the middle of the pack with a C−. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 4 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land about an hour behind schedule. That rests on 279 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 1373 runs 4 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 42 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 279 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.0% 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 1373 flies
AA 1373 flies DFW to FLL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:19, used on 43 of 279 flights, with 12:55 (41 flights) and 13:16 (38 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 12:19 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and AA 1373 runs 5 points worse at 73.4%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
AA 1373 quarter by quarter
AA 1373 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 79.8% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 67.8%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 93 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 1373 did best on Friday at 81.6% on time and worst on Saturday at 63.9%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 1373 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 55% of the 4,497 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.
- 55%Carrier
- 29%Late-arriving aircraft
- 16%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 55%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,478 of the 4,497 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,497 delay minutes reported on AA 1373.
Cancellations run at 4.30%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 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
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.0% 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 1,119 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.
AA 1373 is not only a DFW to FLL flight. It also flew FLL to DFW (274 flights, 60.5% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 279 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 1373
