Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 1908, check with American Airlines.
AA 1908 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 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs close to two hours. That rests on 306 flights, with a median arrival 13 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, AA 1908's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 96 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 306 flights between July 2025 and June 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.
Schedule
When AA 1908 flies
AA 1908 flies LAS to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:00, used on 74 of 306 flights, with 07:30 (44 flights) and 06:00 (40 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 08:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AA 1908 runs 3 points better at 87.2%. 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 1908 quarter by quarter
AA 1908 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 97.1% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 79.8%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 77 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.

- Oct–Dec 202534 flights97.1%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights79.8%

By weekday, AA 1908 did best on Wednesday at 97.6% on time and worst on Saturday at 81.4%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 1908 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 48% of the 4,100 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.
- 48%Carrier
- 29%Late-arriving aircraft
- 21%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 48%, 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 1,980 of the 4,100 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,100 delay minutes reported on AA 1908.
Cancellations sit at 2.29% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.98%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.8% 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 close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,055 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 four other city pairs in the data, including CLT to IAD (27), SJU to CLT (24) and CLT to SJU (24), but none flew often enough under AA 1908 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAS to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 306 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
