Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 2629, check with American Airlines.
AA 2629 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 4 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 282 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 2629 runs 4 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 43 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 282 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 3 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 2629 flies
AA 2629 flies MIA to AUS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:40, used on 41 of 282 flights, with 19:41 (33 flights) and 18:40 (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 19:40 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and AA 2629 runs 5 points better at 73.3%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.
Against the route
AA 2629 next to MIA to AUS
Every carrier on MIA to AUS combined arrived on time 72.8% of the time across 2,161 flights, so AA 2629 is about level with it. American flew 1,523 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 73.8% on time. Across its whole network American Airlines managed 74.4%, close to this flight's figure.

Across the year
AA 2629 quarter by quarter
AA 2629 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 75.6% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 63.4%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 71 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.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights75.6%
- Oct–Dec 202590 flights75.3%
- Jan–Mar 202659 flights73.7%
- Apr–Jun 202641 flights63.4%
Scale runs 55% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, AA 2629 did best on Tuesday at 85.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 64.1%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 2629 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 45% of the 5,705 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.
- 45%Carrier
- 33%Late-arriving aircraft
- 12%National Airspace System
- 9%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 45%, 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 2,595 of the 5,705 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,705 delay minutes reported on AA 2629.
Cancellations sit at 1.77% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.5% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,103 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
The same number turns up on five other city pairs in the data, including RDU to CLT (44), CLT to RDU (44) and PHX to TPA (30), but none flew often enough under AA 2629 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MIA to AUS only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 282 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 2629
