Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 2470, check with American Airlines.

AA 2470 earns an A. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 9 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 261 flights, with a median arrival 17 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AA 2470's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 91 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 261 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 17 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 2470 flies

AA 2470 flies CLT to LAS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:25, used on 37 of 261 flights, with 11:44 (32 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 12:25 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and AA 2470 runs 8 points better at 86.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

AA 2470 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter AA 2470 held fairly steady: 86.6% in Jul–Sep 2025, 85.4% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 87.2% in Jan–Mar 2026. A spread of 2 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, AA 2470 ranged from 80.0% on Tuesday to 90.0% on Wednesday. With about 37 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why AA 2470 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 52% of the 2,036 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.

52%
Carrier

National Airspace System

Extreme weather
8%

52% 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 2,036 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 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 2,036 delay minutes reported on AA 2470.

Cancellations sit at 1.92% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.7% 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 1,916 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 six other city pairs in the data, including LAS to CLT (190), ORF to DFW (44) and DFW to ORF (42), but none flew often enough under AA 2470 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CLT to LAS only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 261 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 2470

For a booking, read AA 2470 as 86.7% on time with 1.92% cancelled over 261 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
