AA 2342 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 14 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 363 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AA 2342's record is 14 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 140 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 363 flights between July 2025 and June 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.

Schedule

When AA 2342 flies

AA 2342 flies SAT to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 05:00, used on 153 of 363 flights, with 06:00 (145 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 05:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2342 runs 2 points better at 91.6%. 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 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.

By weekday, AA 2342 did best on Friday at 98.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 85.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 2342 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 51% of the 2,674 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
19%
Late-arriving aircraft
17%
National Airspace System
12%

Extreme weather accounts for 19% 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 3.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,674 delay minutes reported on AA 2342.

Cancellations run at 4.68%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty 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 3.8% 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.

Every one of the 363 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. 363 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: 4.68% of its 363 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
