These figures cover 322 flights between September 2025 and August 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 414 flies

AS 414 flies SEA to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:02, used on 70 of 322 flights, with 08:30 (64 flights) and 08:23 (36 flights) next.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 06:02 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AS 414 runs level with that at 90.9%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Delay causes

Why AS 414 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 1,403 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
41%
National Airspace System
22%
Extreme weather
22%
Late-arriving aircraft
15%

Extreme weather accounts for 22% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 3.6 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 1,403 delay minutes reported on AS 414.

Cancellations sit at 1.24% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 1.6% 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 1,660 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 322 flights under AS 414 in the data flew SEA to DFW. 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. 322 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 414

For a booking, AS 414 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 90.9% on time and 1.24% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
