AA 2785 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 8 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 327 flights, with a median arrival 1 minute early.

These figures cover 327 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When AA 2785 flies

AA 2785 flies LAX to LAS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:47, used on 58 of 327 flights, with 19:40 (38 flights) and 19:30 (33 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

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 19:47 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and AA 2785 runs level with that at 69.7%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

AA 2785 quarter by quarter

AA 2785 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 78.2% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 61.1%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 82 flights a 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights61.1%
Oct–Dec 202573 flights64.4%
Jan–Mar 202689 flights78.2%
Apr–Jun 202673 flights75.3%

Scale runs 55% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, AA 2785 did best on Tuesday at 87.8% on time and worst on Thursday at 57.1%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 31 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 2785 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 7,086 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
40%
Carrier
39%
National Airspace System
21%
Security
0%

40% 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 7,086 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 40 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 7,086 delay minutes reported on AA 2785.

Cancellations sit at 1.22% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 10.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

Every one of the 327 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. 327 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

For a booking, AA 2785 is one of the weaker ways to fly LAX to LAS: 7 points below the route as a whole. If the schedule allows, compare it with the other departures listed on the route page before settling on this one.
