These figures cover 309 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 15 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 562 runs 6 points better at 95.1%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

The worst days
Worst days for AS 562
The latest arrival of the period was on 28 December 2025, 1 hour 21 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across December, August, November and January, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 28 December 2025 | 1 hour 21 minutes | Carrier |
| 13 August 2026 | 46 minutes | Carrier |
| 2 November 2025 | 43 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why AS 562 runs late
Carrier accounts for 55% of the 425 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 55%Carrier
- 31%National Airspace System
- 12%Extreme weather
- 3%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 2.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 425 delay minutes reported on AS 562.
Cancellations are rare at 0.32%, 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 0.3% 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.
The 817 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.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including MCO to SFO (1), but none flew often enough under AS 562 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BUR to PDX only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 309 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 562
For a booking, AS 562 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 95.1% on time and 0.32% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
