Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 707, check with American Airlines.
AA 707 lands a B, 2 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 an hour and a half on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 331 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.

These figures cover 331 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 707 flies
AA 707 flies SEA to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:09, used on 68 of 331 flights, with 10:25 (44 flights) and 10:23 (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 10:09 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AA 707 runs 5 points worse at 79.6%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
AA 707 quarter by quarter
AA 707 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 91.4% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 69.0%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 83 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 707 did best on Tuesday at 90.5% on time and worst on Sunday at 72.0%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 19 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 707 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 49% of the 5,762 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.
- 49%Late-arriving aircraft
- 36%Carrier
- 12%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
49% 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 5,762 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 17 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 5,762 delay minutes reported on AA 707.
Cancellations sit at 2.42% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.51%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
7.2% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 1,660 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.
AA 707 is not only a SEA to DFW flight. It also flew DFW to SEA (300 flights, 83.2% 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. 331 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.
