These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 8 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.

|---|---|---|
| 17 March 2026 | 3 hours 42 minutes | Carrier |
| 6 December 2025 | 2 hours 33 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 1911 runs late
Carrier accounts for 48% of the 2,349 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Carrier
- 27%Late-arriving aircraft
- 18%National Airspace System
- 7%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 48%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,139 of the 2,349 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,349 delay minutes reported on AA 1911.
Cancellations run at 3.01%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.4% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 1,345 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.
AA 1911 is not only a DFW to RNO flight. It also flew RNO to DFW (364 flights, 83.2% 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. 365 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 1911
