Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AS 368, check with Alaska Airlines.

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 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 313 flights, with a median arrival 13 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AS 368's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 97 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 313 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 368 flies

AS 368 flies SFO to MCO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 151 of 313 flights, with 08:25 (86 flights) and 07:50 (35 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 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 87.3%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Against the route

AS 368 next to SFO to MCO

Every carrier on SFO to MCO combined arrived on time 85.1% of the time across 1,452 flights, so AS 368 is 2 points ahead of it. Across its whole network Alaska Airlines managed 79.1%, which this flight beats by 8 points.

Across the year

AS 368 quarter by quarter

AS 368 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 91.1% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 76.2%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 78 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights91.1%
Oct–Dec 202589 flights87.5%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights88.6%
Apr–Jun 202642 flights76.2%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, AS 368 ranged from 81.8% on Monday to 93.3% on Wednesday. With about 45 flights behind each day, a spread of 12 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why AS 368 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 61% of the 2,404 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.

Carrier
61%
National Airspace System
32%
Late-arriving aircraft
8%

The largest share of delay minutes, 61%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 1,455 of the 2,404 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,404 delay minutes reported on AS 368.

Cancellations are rare at 0.64%, 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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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 DFW to SEA (28) and SEA to SLC (7), 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. 313 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: 87.3% on time and 0.64% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
