Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 2774, check with American Airlines.

AA 2774 lands a B, 6 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about 4.3 hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 350 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AA 2774's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 62 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 350 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 2774 flies

AA 2774 flies AUS to PHL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:10, used on 63 of 350 flights, with 07:00 (60 flights) and 07:30 (39 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

  • Departs 07:0060 flights17.1%
  • Departs 07:3039 flights11.1%

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 07:10 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2774 runs 6 points worse at 83.8%. 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 2774 next to AUS to PHL

Across the year

AA 2774 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter AA 2774 held fairly steady: 84.7% in Jul–Sep 2025, 81.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 82.4% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 86.8% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 6 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, AA 2774 did best on Monday at 88.9% on time and worst on Sunday at 75.0%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 2774 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 84% of the 14,000 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
    84%
  • Late-arriving aircraft
    11%
  • National Airspace System
    3%
  • Extreme weather
    2%

The largest share of delay minutes, 84%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 12,000 of the 14,000 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 14,150 delay minutes reported on AA 2774.

Cancellations run at 2.57%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 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

7.9% 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 4.3 hours, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 1,431 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 one other city pair in the data, including DFW to LAX (12), but none flew often enough under AA 2774 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to AUS to PHL only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 350 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 2774

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2774: 2.57% of its 350 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 4.3 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
