These figures cover 277 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When AA 2655 flies
AA 2655 flies PDX to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:35, used on 64 of 277 flights, with 12:04 (62 flights) and 12:00 (38 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 11:35 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and AA 2655 runs 4 points worse at 75.3%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
AA 2655 quarter by quarter
AA 2655 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 81.6% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 65.6%, a swing of 16 points on roughly 92 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 2655 ranged from 70.0% on Wednesday to 77.8% on Friday. With about 40 flights behind each day, a spread of 8 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why AA 2655 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 6,918 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.
- 44%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%Carrier
- 16%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 16% 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 2.6 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,918 delay minutes reported on AA 2655.
Cancellations sit at 2.17% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 10.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
At 1,616 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.
AA 2655 is not only a PDX to DFW flight. It also flew DFW to PDX (275 flights, 76.0% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 277 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.
