Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 694, check with American Airlines.

AA 694 lands a B, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 305 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.

These figures cover 305 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 694 flies

AA 694 flies HNL to PHX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 23:00, used on 97 of 305 flights, with 22:16 (44 flights) and 22:14 (41 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 23:00 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and AA 694 runs 11 points better at 81.3%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

AA 694 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter AA 694 held fairly steady: 76.2% in Jul–Sep 2025, 85.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 80.0% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 83.5% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, AA 694 did best on Wednesday at 90.5% on time and worst on Sunday at 76.7%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 694 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 60% of the 4,581 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.

Late-arriving aircraft
60%
Carrier
29%
National Airspace System
11%

60% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 4,581 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 60 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 4,581 delay minutes reported on AA 694.

Cancellations sit at 1.97% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.7% 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.

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 305 flights under AA 694 in the data flew HNL to PHX. 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. 305 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 694

For a booking, read AA 694 as 81.3% on time with 1.97% cancelled over 305 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
