These figures cover 272 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

|---|---|---|
| 17 December 2025 | 4 hours 24 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why AA 2894 runs late
Carrier accounts for 58% of the 1,938 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 58%Carrier
- 27%Late-arriving aircraft
- 8%National Airspace System
- 6%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
The largest share of delay minutes, 58%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,120 of the 1,938 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,938 delay minutes reported on AA 2894.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are 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 2.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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. 272 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: 90.1% on time and 0.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
