Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 2746, check with American Airlines.

AA 2746 earns an A+. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 325 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AA 2746's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 74 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 325 flights between July 2025 and June 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 12:14. That slot held for 266 of the 325 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

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 2746 runs 4 points worse at 85.0%. 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 2746 next to LAX to DFW

Every carrier on LAX to DFW combined arrived on time 74.2% of the time across 6,231 flights, so AA 2746 is 11 points ahead of it. American flew 4,563 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 72.7% on time. Across its whole network American Airlines managed 74.4%, which this flight beats by 11 points.

Across the year

AA 2746 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter AA 2746 held fairly steady: 84.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 80.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 88.5% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 88.8% in Apr–Jun 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.

By weekday, AA 2746 ranged from 81.8% on Saturday to 89.1% on Wednesday. With about 46 flights behind each day, a spread of 7 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why AA 2746 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 49% of the 4,230 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
49%
Late-arriving aircraft
34%
National Airspace System
17%

34% 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 4,230 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 34 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 4,230 delay minutes reported on AA 2746.

Cancellations are rare at 0.62%, below the national 1.81% 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

5.0% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

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. 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 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. 325 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: 85.0% on time and 0.62% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
