Across the year
AA 2803 quarter by quarter
AA 2803 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 68.2% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 40.4%, a swing of 28 points on roughly 86 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.

By weekday, AA 2803 did best on Wednesday at 78.6% on time and worst on Sunday at 50.0%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 29 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The latest arrival of the period was on 13 July 2026, 12 hours 21 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.

Delay causes
Why AA 2803 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 9,090 reported delay minutes.
- 38%Late-arriving aircraft
- 36%Carrier
- 21%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
38% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,090 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 9 to one. The split is drawn from 9,090 delay minutes reported on AA 2803.
Cancellations sit at 1.74% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
14.7% 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 345 flights under AA 2803 in the data flew MIA to MCO. 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. 345 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 2803
For a booking, AA 2803 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 14.7% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
