These figures cover 292 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 5 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 2844 flies

AA 2844 flies PHX to JAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 15:59, used on 49 of 292 flights, with 15:46 (44 flights) and 17:10 (30 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

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

A 15:59 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and AA 2844 runs level with that at 73.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

AA 2844 quarter by quarter

AA 2844 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 78.6% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 67.3%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 73 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 2844 did best on Saturday at 81.6% on time and worst on Sunday at 63.8%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 2844 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 64% of the 4,380 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.

Late-arriving aircraft
64%
Carrier
26%
National Airspace System
11%

64% 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 4,380 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 64 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 4,380 delay minutes reported on AA 2844.

Cancellations are rare at 0.34%, 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

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 an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

At 1,785 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

Every one of the 292 flights under AA 2844 in the data flew PHX to JAX. 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. 292 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 2844

For a booking, read AA 2844 as 73.8% on time with 0.34% cancelled over 292 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
