AA 1935 draws a D−. Roughly one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is about an hour behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 356 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes late.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 1935 runs 16 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 157 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 356 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 12.5% 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 1935 flies

AA 1935 flies DFW to MEM without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:25, used on 52 of 356 flights, with 09:35 (39 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 08:25 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AA 1935 runs 22 points worse at 61.9%. 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 1935 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter AA 1935 held fairly steady: 65.2% in Jul–Sep 2025, 58.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 57.5% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 66.7% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Scale runs 50% to 70%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, AA 1935 did best on Friday at 73.5% on time and worst on Monday at 56.9%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 1935 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 8,668 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.

Extreme weather

53% 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 8,668 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 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 8,668 delay minutes reported on AA 1935.

Cancellations run at 3.37%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 12.5% 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 same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including MEM to DFW (84) and DFW to MCI (3), but none flew often enough under AA 1935 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to MEM only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 356 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 1935

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1935: 3.37% of its 356 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
