| 29 January 2026 | 4 hours 37 minutes | Carrier |
| 1 November 2025 | 4 hours 17 minutes | Carrier |
| 17 June 2026 | 3 hours 48 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 757 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 47% of the 5,718 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 47%Late-arriving aircraft
- 39%Carrier
- 11%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
47% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,718 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 14 to one. The split is drawn from 5,718 delay minutes reported on AA 757.
Cancellations sit at 2.20% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.27%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
8.7% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, 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 757 is not only a DFW to SEA flight. It also flew SEA to DFW (295 flights, 72.4% 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.
