Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 1832, check with American Airlines.
AA 1832 draws a D. Roughly one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is a little over an hour behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 352 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes late.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 1832 runs 17 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 173 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 352 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 17.9% 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 1832 flies
AA 1832 flies DFW to DEN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:40, used on 73 of 352 flights, with 14:45 (62 flights) and 15:13 (36 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 14:40 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and AA 1832 runs 12 points worse at 60.3%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
AA 1832 quarter by quarter
AA 1832 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 73.9% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 48.3%, a swing of 26 points on roughly 88 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 1832 did best on Monday at 68.0% on time and worst on Friday at 46.0%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 22 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 1832 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 10,000 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.
- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%National Airspace System
- 23%Carrier
- 2%Extreme weather
50% 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 10,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 26 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 10,008 delay minutes reported on AA 1832.
Cancellations run at 2.84%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 40 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. 17.9% 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.
The 641 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 1832 is not only a DFW to DEN flight. It also flew DEN to DFW (303 flights, 57.7% 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. 352 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 1832
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1832: 2.84% of its 352 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
