Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AS 1327, check with Alaska Airlines.
AS 1327 draws a D. Roughly one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is about an hour behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 252 flights, with a median arrival 4 minutes late.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AS 1327 runs 15 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 154 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 252 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 12.2% 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 1327 flies
AS 1327 flies SFO to SEA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:49, used on 42 of 252 flights, with 19:40 (36 flights) and 20:19 (26 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 19:49 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and AS 1327 runs 6 points worse at 62.2%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.
Against the route
AS 1327 next to SFO to SEA

Across the year
AS 1327 quarter by quarter
AS 1327 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 88.9% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 43.7%, a swing of 45 points on roughly 84 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 1327 did best on Saturday at 71.0% on time and worst on Friday at 51.3%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AS 1327 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 5,569 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.
- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%National Airspace System
- 20%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
50% 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 5,569 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 50 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 5,569 delay minutes reported on AS 1327.
Cancellations sit at 2.38% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 12.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 679 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.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including SEA to LIH (1), but none flew often enough under AS 1327 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SFO to SEA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 252 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 1327
For a booking, AS 1327 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.2% 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.
