Why AA 2785 runs late

- 43%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 27%National Airspace System
- 0%Security
43% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,175 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 43 to one. The split is drawn from 6,175 delay minutes reported on AA 2785.
Cancellations sit at 0.95% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
9.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
Every one of the 316 flights under AA 2785 in the data flew LAX to LAS. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 316 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 2785
