These figures cover 271 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 11 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 2894 flies

AA 2894 flies MCO to MIA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 128 of 271 flights, with 06:10 (63 flights) and 07:00 (29 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 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2894 runs level with that at 90.7%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

AA 2894 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter AA 2894 held fairly steady: 93.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 92.2% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 91.8% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 2 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, AA 2894 ranged from 87.2% on Monday to 97.4% on Thursday. With about 39 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why AA 2894 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 53% of the 1,851 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
53%
Late-arriving aircraft
28%
National Airspace System
12%
Extreme weather
7%

The largest share of delay minutes, 53%, 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 989 of the 1,851 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,851 delay minutes reported on AA 2894.

Cancellations are rare at 0.37%, 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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.0% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The same number turns up on seven other city pairs in the data, including PHL to MIA (30), MIA to SAT (25) and SAT to MIA (25), but none flew often enough under AA 2894 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MCO to MIA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 271 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 2894

For a booking, AA 2894 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 90.7% on time and 0.37% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
