AA 2464 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 10 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 279 flights, with a median arrival 13 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, AA 2464's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.3%. That gap is worth roughly 102 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 279 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 2464 quarter by quarter
AA 2464 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 96.7% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 74.5%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 56 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 2464 did best on Wednesday at 97.4% on time and worst on Saturday at 82.1%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The latest arrival of the period was on 20 June 2026, 13 hours 7 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. Three of the five worst days fell in July 2026.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 20 June 2026 | 13 hours 7 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 3 January 2026 | 9 hours 54 minutes | Carrier |
| 6 July 2026 | 3 hours 51 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 2464 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 69% of the 3,078 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 69%Late-arriving aircraft
- 25%Carrier
- 4%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
69% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,078 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 40 to one. The split is drawn from 3,078 delay minutes reported on AA 2464.
Cancellations run at 2.87%, 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 4.4% 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.
At 2,244 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 four other city pairs in the data, including CLT to SMF (163), SNA to PHX (36) and DFW to ONT (7), but none flew often enough under AA 2464 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SMF to CLT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 279 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 2464
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2464: 2.87% of its 279 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.
