These figures cover 364 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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.

Across the year
AA 2342 quarter by quarter
AA 2342 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 96.4% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 84.9%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 91 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.

The latest arrival of the period was on 23 May 2026, 7 hours 30 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The five worst days are spread across May, July, September and June, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 23 May 2026 | 7 hours 30 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 26 July 2026 | 7 hours 4 minutes | Carrier |
| 11 July 2026 | 6 hours 9 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 2342 runs late
Carrier accounts for 54% of the 3,665 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 54%Carrier
- 23%Late-arriving aircraft
- 14%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 14% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.4 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,665 delay minutes reported on AA 2342.
Cancellations run at 3.57%, against 1.89% 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.6% 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.
Every one of the 364 flights under AA 2342 in the data flew SAT to DFW. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 364 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 2342
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2342: 3.57% of its 364 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs close to two hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
