These figures cover 262 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When AS 1302 flies

AS 1302 flies SFO to PDX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:58, used on 64 of 262 flights, with 15:01 (53 flights) and 15:00 (39 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 14:58 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and AS 1302 runs 3 points better at 75.4%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

AS 1302 quarter by quarter

AS 1302 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 88.1% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 61.1%, a swing of 27 points on roughly 87 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, AS 1302 did best on Saturday at 87.1% on time and worst on Thursday at 62.2%. Each day rests on about 37 flights, so a gap of 25 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AS 1302 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 59% of the 4,095 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
59%
Carrier
34%
National Airspace System
7%

59% 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 4,095 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 59 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 4,095 delay minutes reported on AS 1302.

Cancellations are rare at 0.76%, below the national 1.81% 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

8.5% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 550 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

Every one of the 262 flights under AS 1302 in the data flew SFO to PDX. 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. 262 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 AS 1302

For a booking, AS 1302 is one of the weaker ways to fly SFO to PDX: 5 points below the route as a whole. If the schedule allows, compare it with the other departures listed on the route page before settling on this one.
