A 08:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and AA 307 runs 9 points worse at 74.6%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

AA 307 quarter by quarter

Arrival by arrival
How late AA 307 runs when it is late
AA 307 often beats the schedule: 130 of 351 completed flights, 37%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. When AA 307 is late it tends to be very late: 54 of its 89 late arrivals were an hour or more behind, and 38 were two hours or more.

Share of 351 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 75 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 6 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 20 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at JFK.
The worst days
Worst days for AA 307
The latest arrival of the period was on 21 January 2026, 37 hours 14 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 21 January 2026 | 37 hours 14 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 14 February 2026 | 32 hours 6 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 7 July 2026 | 22 hours 47 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 9 January 2026 | 12 hours 2 minutes | Carrier |
| 22 December 2025 | 10 hours 33 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why AA 307 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 65% of the 19,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 65%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%Carrier
- 11%National Airspace System
- 0%Extreme weather
65% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 19,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 65 to one. The split is drawn from 18,962 delay minutes reported on AA 307.
Cancellations run at 3.02%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
15.4% 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.
At 2,475 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 364 flights under AA 307 in the data flew LAX to JFK. 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. 364 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 307
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 307: 3.02% of its 364 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 3.6 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
