These figures cover 320 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.

Across the year
AA 1395 quarter by quarter
AA 1395 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 89.0% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 77.3%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 80 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.

Delay causes
Why AA 1395 runs late
Carrier accounts for 78% of the 6,775 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 78%Carrier
- 10%National Airspace System
- 8%Late-arriving aircraft
- 3%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
The largest share of delay minutes, 78%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 5,274 of the 6,775 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 6,775 delay minutes reported on AA 1395.
Cancellations run at 3.12%, 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
5.5% 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 2.7 hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 852 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 two other city pairs in the data, including GRR to CLT (44) and PHX to CLT (1), but none flew often enough under AA 1395 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MSP to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 320 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 1395
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1395: 3.12% of its 320 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 2.7 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
