These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 4 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.

Across the year
AA 693 quarter by quarter
AA 693 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 93.3% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 63.9%, a swing of 29 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.
- Jul–Sep 202530 flights93.3%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights91.2%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights79.5%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights68.9%

Scale runs 55% to 100%.
By weekday, AA 693 did best on Wednesday at 90.4% on time and worst on Monday at 66.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 24 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late AA 693 runs when it is late
AA 693 often beats the schedule: 133 of 360 completed flights, 37%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. Most of the lateness is short. 42 of the 78 late arrivals were under half an hour behind, and 15 reached an hour or more.

Share of 360 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
A late pushback is often recovered here: of 47 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 20 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 51 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 HNL.
The worst days

The latest arrival of the period was on 29 January 2026, 21 hours 36 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 29 January 2026 | 21 hours 36 minutes | Carrier |
| 9 March 2026 | 6 hours 35 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 693 runs late
Carrier accounts for 54% of the 5,585 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 54%Carrier
- 23%National Airspace System
- 23%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 54%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,998 of the 5,585 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,585 delay minutes reported on AA 693.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, below the national 1.89% 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 4.2% 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.
At 2,917 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 365 flights under AA 693 in the data flew PHX to HNL. 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. 365 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 693
