AA 1458 earns a D−, which is as low as this site's scale goes for a reason. Only 56.6% of flights arrive inside the 15-minute window, 21 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. Late arrivals average about an hour. Treat any tight connection here as a coin flip. That rests on 341 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes late.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 1458 runs 21 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 210 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 341 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 16.9% 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 1458 flies

AA 1458 flies DFW to OKC without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 21:38, used on 46 of 341 flights, with 21:53 (46 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 21:38 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and AA 1458 runs 14 points worse at 56.6%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

AA 1458 quarter by quarter

AA 1458 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 70.4% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 48.8%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 85 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 1458 did best on Wednesday at 68.8% on time and worst on Friday at 47.7%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 1458 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 56% of the 9,435 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.

56% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 9,435 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 9,435 delay minutes reported on AA 1458.

Cancellations run at 4.99%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty 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. 16.9% 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.

Every one of the 341 flights under AA 1458 in the data flew DFW to OKC. 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. 341 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 1458

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1458: 4.99% of its 341 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
