These figures cover 287 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 4 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.

Across the year
AA 2723 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter AA 2723 held fairly steady: 76.6% in Oct–Dec 2025, 74.6% in Jan–Mar 2026, 81.8% in Apr–Jun 2026 and 83.6% in Jul–Sep 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

- Oct–Dec 202578 flights76.6%
- Jan–Mar 202676 flights74.6%
- Apr–Jun 202645 flights81.8%

Scale runs 65% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, AA 2723 did best on Wednesday at 93.2% on time and worst on Sunday at 65.8%. Each day rests on about 41 flights, so a gap of 27 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 279 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
8 of 35 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 23% of them. In the other direction, 30 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at LGA.
The worst days
Worst days for AA 2723
The latest arrival of the period was on 14 December 2025, 4 hours 16 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across December, May, January and October, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 14 December 2025 | 4 hours 16 minutes | Carrier |
| 19 December 2025 | 3 hours 28 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 24 May 2026 | 2 hours 46 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why AA 2723 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 43% of the 3,113 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 43%National Airspace System
- 40%Carrier
- 10%Late-arriving aircraft
- 6%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
43% 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 1,343 minutes out of 3,113, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 3,113 delay minutes reported on AA 2723.
Cancellations sit at 2.09% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.70%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.4% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 55 minutes, 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.
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. 287 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 79.6% on time with 2.09% cancelled over 287 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
