AA 2723 lands a B, 2 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 279 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.

These figures cover 279 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 2723 flies

AA 2723 flies ORD to LGA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 98 of 279 flights, with 07:23 (39 flights) and 07:20 (33 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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2723 runs 10 points worse at 79.4%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Against the route

AA 2723 next to ORD to LGA

Across the year

AA 2723 quarter by quarter

AA 2723 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 85.0% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 74.6%, a swing of 10 points on roughly 70 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.

Jan–Mar 202676 flights74.6%

Scale runs 65% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, AA 2723 did best on Thursday at 89.1% on time and worst on Friday at 67.4%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 22 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 2723 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 46% of the 3,334 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.

Carrier
46%
National Airspace System
35%
Late-arriving aircraft
13%
Extreme weather
6%

35% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 1,163 minutes out of 3,334, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 3,334 delay minutes reported on AA 2723.

Cancellations sit at 1.79% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.72%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

5.9% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 733 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 two other city pairs in the data, including DFW to SMF (12) and CLT to AUS (3), but none flew often enough under AA 2723 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ORD to LGA 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 2723

For a booking, read AA 2723 as 79.4% on time with 1.79% cancelled over 279 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
