AA 1611 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 13 points better than the national rate of 77.6%.

These figures cover 295 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 1611 flies

AA 1611 flies PHX to LAS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:00, used on 54 of 295 flights, with 08:51 (37 flights) and 07:51 (37 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 09:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AA 1611 runs 7 points better at 90.8%. 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 1611 quarter by quarter

AA 1611 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 97.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 86.4%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 74 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 1611 did best on Wednesday at 95.1% on time and worst on Sunday at 82.2%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 1611 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 47% of the 1,291 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.

Carrier
47%
Late-arriving aircraft
30%
National Airspace System
24%

The largest share of delay minutes, 47%, 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 603 of the 1,291 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,291 delay minutes reported on AA 1611.

Cancellations sit at 1.02% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.8% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including LAS to PHX (182), CLT to BOS (41) and BOS to CLT (41), but none flew often enough under AA 1611 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to PHX to LAS only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 295 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 1611

For a booking, AA 1611 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 90.8% on time and 1.02% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
