These figures cover 364 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 AS 300 flies

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AS 300 runs 2 points worse at 87.2%. 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
AS 300 quarter by quarter

- Jul–Sep 202530 flights83.3%
- Oct–Dec 202591 flights83.5%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights85.6%

By weekday, AS 300 ranged from 80.4% on Saturday to 90.6% on Monday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Arrival by arrival
How late AS 300 runs when it is late
AS 300 often beats the schedule: 155 of 358 completed flights, 43%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. Most of the lateness is short. 31 of the 46 late arrivals were under half an hour behind, and 8 reached an hour or more.

Share of 358 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
A late pushback is often recovered here: of 63 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 36 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 19 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at MCO.

Worst days for AS 300
The latest arrival of the period was on 2 October 2025, 2 hours 51 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.

|---|---|---|
| 2 October 2025 | 2 hours 51 minutes | Carrier |
| 16 March 2026 | 2 hours 43 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why AS 300 runs late
Carrier accounts for 55% of the 1,941 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 55%Carrier
- 29%National Airspace System
- 9%Security
- 5%Late-arriving aircraft
- 1%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 55%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,076 of the 1,941 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,941 delay minutes reported on AS 300.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.2% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
At 2,535 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 364 flights under AS 300 in the data flew PDX to MCO. 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. 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.
What to do with this
Booking AS 300
For a booking, AS 300 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.2% on time and 0.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
