Across the year
AA 324 quarter by quarter
AA 324 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 80.9% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 58.4%, a swing of 23 points on roughly 91 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 324 did best on Monday at 80.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 67.3%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The worst days
Worst days for AA 324
The latest arrival of the period was on 18 July 2026, 9 hours 23 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 18 July 2026 | 9 hours 23 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 17 February 2026 | 4 hours 34 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 27 January 2026 | 4 hours 3 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 324 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 51% of the 6,563 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 51%Late-arriving aircraft
- 29%Carrier
- 11%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 11% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 1.8 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,563 delay minutes reported on AA 324.
Cancellations sit at 1.37% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.55%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
9.5% 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.
The 1,345 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
AA 324 is not only a DFW to RNO flight. It also flew RNO to DFW (355 flights, 72.3% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
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.
