AA 2258 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 12 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 4.4 hours. That rests on 328 flights, with a median arrival 19 minutes early.

These figures cover 328 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 19 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 2258 flies

AA 2258 flies LAS to ORD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 134 of 328 flights, with 06:00 (117 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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2258 runs level with that at 90.0%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

By weekday, AA 2258 ranged from 86.4% on Sunday to 95.5% on Friday. With about 47 flights behind each day, a spread of 9 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why AA 2258 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 64% of the 8,441 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
64%
Late-arriving aircraft
28%
National Airspace System
8%

The largest share of delay minutes, 64%, 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 5,410 of the 8,441 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 8,441 delay minutes reported on AA 2258.

Cancellations sit at 1.52% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.91%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.4% 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.

At 1,514 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including MCO to PHL (37), but none flew often enough under AA 2258 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAS to ORD only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 328 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 2258

For a booking, read AA 2258 as 90.0% on time with 1.52% cancelled over 328 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
