Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 2707, check with American Airlines.
AA 2707 earns an F−, which is as low as this site's scale goes for a reason. Only 52.3% of flights arrive inside the 15-minute window, 25 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. Late arrivals average a little over an hour. Treat any tight connection here as a coin flip. That rests on 252 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes late.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 2707 runs 25 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 253 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 252 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 21.2% 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 2707 flies
AA 2707 flies DFW to AUS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 21:55, used on 47 of 252 flights, with 20:33 (41 flights) and 20:00 (35 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 21:55 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and AA 2707 runs 18 points worse at 52.3%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
AA 2707 quarter by quarter
AA 2707 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 63.1% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 37.8%, a swing of 25 points on roughly 63 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 flights47.7%
- Oct–Dec 202568 flights63.1%
- Jan–Mar 202645 flights60.0%
- Apr–Jun 202647 flights37.8%
Scale runs 30% to 70%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, AA 2707 did best on Wednesday at 61.3% on time and worst on Sunday at 25.0%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 36 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 2707 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 69% of the 8,083 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.
- 69%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%Carrier
- 7%National Airspace System
- 3%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. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 8,083 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 22 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 8,083 delay minutes reported on AA 2707.
Cancellations run at 4.37%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 25 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
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 21.2% 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.
The same number turns up on five other city pairs in the data, including DFW to RSW (44), RSW to DFW (44) and ORD to FLL (11), but none flew often enough under AA 2707 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to AUS only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 252 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 2707
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2707: 4.37% of its 252 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
