These figures cover 326 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 2746 flies
AA 2746 is scheduled to leave Los Angeles (LAX) at 07:00 local time and reach Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) at 12:11. That slot held for 266 of the 326 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

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 2746 runs 2 points worse at 87.0%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
AA 2746 quarter by 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.

The worst days
Worst days for AA 2746
The latest arrival of the period was on 14 December 2025, 13 hours 49 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 14 December 2025 | 13 hours 49 minutes | Carrier |
| 14 March 2026 | 11 hours 8 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 1 November 2025 | 5 hours 36 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 2746 runs late
Carrier accounts for 47% of the 4,014 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 47%Carrier
- 36%Late-arriving aircraft
- 17%National Airspace System
36% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,014 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 36 to one. The split is drawn from 4,014 delay minutes reported on AA 2746.
Cancellations are rare at 0.61%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.7% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 1,235 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 ILM (37) and ILM to DFW (20), but none flew often enough under AA 2746 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAX to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 326 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 2746
For a booking, AA 2746 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.0% on time and 0.61% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
