AS 368 earns an A+. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 10 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 251 flights, with a median arrival 14 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, AS 368's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.3%. That gap is worth roughly 97 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 251 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 14 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.

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 368 runs 2 points worse at 87.0%. 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 368 quarter by quarter
AS 368 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 88.6% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 76.2%, a swing of 12 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.

- Oct–Dec 202589 flights87.5%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights88.6%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, AS 368 did best on Wednesday at 94.4% on time and worst on Saturday at 79.4%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The worst days
Worst days for AS 368
The latest arrival of the period was on 11 May 2026, 3 hours 8 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on five of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 11 May 2026 | 3 hours 8 minutes | Carrier |
| 3 January 2026 | 3 hours 2 minutes | Carrier |
| 25 October 2025 | 2 hours 55 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why AS 368 runs late
Carrier accounts for 54% of the 1,779 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 54%Carrier
- 36%National Airspace System
- 10%Late-arriving aircraft
36% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 634 minutes out of 1,779, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,779 delay minutes reported on AS 368.
Cancellations are rare at 0.80%, below the national 1.89% 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.2% 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 2,446 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.
The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including SEA to SLC (56) and DFW to SEA (28), but none flew often enough under AS 368 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SFO to MCO only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 251 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 368
For a booking, AS 368 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.0% on time and 0.80% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
