Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 1395, check with American Airlines.
AA 1395 earns an A−. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 9 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 2.6 hours. That rests on 320 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, AA 1395's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 86 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 320 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.
Schedule
When AA 1395 flies
AA 1395 flies MSP to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:15, used on 64 of 320 flights, with 06:32 (37 flights) and 06:20 (32 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 06:15 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 1395 runs 3 points worse at 86.2%. 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 1395 quarter by quarter
AA 1395 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 89.8% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 77.3%, a swing of 13 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.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights89.8%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights84.6%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights89.0%
- Apr–Jun 202646 flights77.3%
Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, AA 1395 did best on Tuesday at 93.3% on time and worst on Monday at 81.0%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 1395 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 79% of the 6,478 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.
- 79%Carrier
- 11%National Airspace System
- 6%Late-arriving aircraft
- 4%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 79%, 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 5,122 of the 6,478 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 6,478 delay minutes reported on AA 1395.
Cancellations run at 3.44%, against 1.81% 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
5.6% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 2.6 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. 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.
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: 3.44% of its 320 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 2.6 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
