Delay causes
Why AA 702 runs late

- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 36%Carrier
- 7%National Airspace System
- 6%Extreme weather
50% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,096 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 8 to one. The split is drawn from 7,096 delay minutes reported on AA 702.

Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
13.6% 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 2,165 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 299 flights under AA 702 in the data flew DFW to SJU. 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. 299 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 702
For a booking, AA 702 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 13.6% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
